Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has shared his thoughts on the upcoming Premier League clash against West Ham United. The Gunners are set to visit the London Stadium to extend their winning streak in the league and maintain their momentum.
West Ham previously handed Arsenal their only home defeat in the league a few weeks ago but have experienced a dip in form since then. Their recent match ended in a 3-0 loss against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Arsenal showcased their determination in the title race with a convincing 3-1 victory over Liverpool, narrowing the gap to two points at the top. They head into the clash with West Ham following successive wins over Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, and the league leaders.
Speaking to the club’s media ahead of the weekend London derby, midfielder Jorginho emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and pushing harder.
“Everyone is pleased with recent results, but now is the time to stay focused and strive for more. We need to capitalize on our positive momentum and aim for another victory.
It will be a challenging match. West Ham performs well at home, making it a tough venue to secure a win. They’ve proven it before, and now it’s our turn to turn things around in our favor.”
David Moyes’ side has gone winless in six games since they triumphed over Arsenal at the Emirates in December. Mikel Arteta’s team will be eager to deepen their struggles and push them further down the league standings.
England international Declan Rice has been in exceptional form since joining Arsenal in a club-record transfer from West Ham last summer.
