When Jorginho's mother saw her son's shirt in the Arsenal dressing room, she was overcome with emotion.
The 31-year-old's mother visited the Arsenal's dressing where she saw his shirt number 20.
The midfielder, who is 31 years old, spent his childhood with his parents in the port of Imbituba, a coastal town in the south of Brazil.
In addition, this was the location where a young Jorginho would sharpen his skills while his mother, Maria Tereza Freitas, worked as a cleaner for the majority of the day to earn enough money to buy her son the tools he needed to succeed.
In fact, whenever she had the opportunity, Maria and her son would spend hours practicing their technical skills on Brazil's beaches.
Jorginho's mother traveled from Brazil to North London earlier this week to see her son. While she was there, she was shown around the Arsenal dressing room.
It was accumulated that Maria separated in tears when she recognized the number 20 shirt.
If you recall, Jorginho signed a contract with the Gunners in January for approximately £12 million.
According to reports, Mikel Arteta's team has remained at the top of the Premier League ladder thanks to the veteran midfielder's five appearances.
Jorginho who didn't feature in Arsenal's 3-2 comeback against Bournemouth over the weekend could return this mid week.
It was reported that the 31-year-old missed the game due to an illness. But Mikel Arteta revealed that Jorginho has recovered ahead of their Europa League clash with Sporting Lisbon.
