I don’t want to sound unprofessional but is either they sell Him or I join Barcelona as A free agent, He is the reason why I have not renewed my contract yet, How can a professional player be losing possession in such position”, Thomas Partey voice out His dissatisfaction over ONE Arsenal player performance yesterday.. threatening to leave if the player is not sold.

Jamie Redknapp told Jorginho he was lucky not to injure Brighton and Hove Albion defender Joel Veltman after the Arsenal midfielder seemed to leg-swipe his marker.

The two players had a bit of a spat right outside the penalty ‘D’ during Joao Pedro’s run-up before slotting away the ball with respect to the equalizer for the home side during Saturday’s 1-1 draw-an incident that was not taken up live by the TV coverage initially.

A little before the penalty shot, Jorginho was preparing himself to run in to perhaps clear the rebound in case David Raya saved the shot while Veltman came in to try and block him off from the angle. Jorginho didn’t take too kindly to that and appeared to have kicked backward quite aggressively into him-studs up.

It didn’t quite seem that the Italian made his mark, in spite of the fact Veltman ended up falling down to the ground. However, had he made any sort of clear contact, and VAR officials had witnessed his act, the 33-year-old would’ve been in quite a lot of trouble.

The incident after full time was shown by Sky Sports during the analysis, and Jamie Redknapp believes that Jorginho walked a fine line with that moment. “Jorginho was quite lucky here because if he catches him he could have been in trouble and got a red card,” he said when the clip played.

Fellow pundit Steve Sidwell added: “You can see it’s a little bit of a lash out and if it’s more a connection…” Another clip showed Declan Rice yelling something out as Pedro was running up to take the penalty in an act of gamesmanship that gained no dividend.

Having donned the captain’s armband for this game, Jorginho was ready to make his first Premier League start in close to a month. The Euro 2020 winner, who put pen to paper on a new one-year extension over the summer, has made just six league starts this season.
