Jorginho has expressed his joy at welcoming Manoel Marcelo Ribeiro, who has the nickname Manny, to Arsenal through a post on his social media account.
The Gunners recently signed the sports massage therapist from Chelsea where Ribeiro had been since the 2009/2010 season, having worked with others such as Fulham and West Ham.
During his time at Chelsea, he worked alongside Jorginho and took him to win major trophies including the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.

In response, Jorginho posted a photo of him and Ribeiro with the caption, “Welcome my friend [heart symbol]. ”
Arsenal’s Transfer Pursuit
Arsenal has been linked with interest in Bologna’s defender Riccardo Calafiori.
The 22-year-old, who performed well during Euro 2024, is expected to join Arsenal for £42. There are other clubs like Juventus and Real Madrid which have shown interest in him but moving forward personal terms should not be an issue.
High Hopes for Calafiori
Tony Cascarino stated that Calafiori can be compared to Sergio Ramos due to his ability to play in several positions on the pitch and good nerves.
According to a report from Sportsbuddy, Tony Cascarino has called on the club to offload Enzo Fernandez in the wake of a social media video incident.
Cascarino observed, “If Arsenal are getting a deal done for £40 million for a centre-half that a lot of clubs have looked at and wanted then that’s a fantastic addition.
To be honest, he is very calm, but he also has a bit of Sergio Ramos in him.
