Jorginho seals Flamengo switch on free transfer after Arsenal exit

Flamengo have completed the signing of midfielder Jorginho on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract with Arsenal.

Arsenal confirmed earlier this week that Jorginho would be moving on as his contract expired, ending his brief but steady stint in North London.

Now, the 33-year-old is embarking on a fresh challenge with Brazilian powerhouse Flamengo, signing a three-year deal.

Jorginho's debut could come on a massive stage-the FIFA Club World Cup - where fate might pit him against a familiar foe - Chelsea.

The Brazilian side is set to face the Blues on June 20, potentially setting up a dramatic reunion for the ex-Stamford Bridge favorite.

From the Premier League to the Maracana, Jorginho's journey continues-this time, with the red and black of Flamengo.
