Jorginho joined Arsenal in January from Chelsea after their £300million spending spree.
The Italian had played at Stamford Bridge across five seasons, helping the club win the Champions League and Europa League.
But Jorginho conceded he decided to make the move across London to the Premier League title chasers because he felt he was no longer needed at the Blues.

Jorginho also opened up on the difference between Italian and English football, saying: “There is a difference and you can see it in games.
“In Premier League, you have to fight until the end, also against the last in the table, every game is tough.”
Additionally, he went on to praise the recruitment and form of his former side Napoli, who sit top of the Serie A table by 15 points.
They are also in control of their Champions League clash after beating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the opening leg.
