Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is delighted with Jorginho's new contract.

The midfielder penned new terms yesterday.

Arteta said this morning: "I think there is no question about his contribution to the team - the way he feels about his team-mates, about the club, about the way we play. He is someone that makes everybody else better. That's his main quality.

"He is still hungry, he wants to win, he wants to win with us. He's happy here, his family is happy so for us it was a really easy decision.

"He is a very important player because of the way he communicates, his understanding, the way he coaches people is excellent. You need those types of players but on top of that, as a model, it is very difficult to find someone that is better than him."
