'It's a secret!' - Jorginho hints that Arsenal's Dubai warm-weather training played major role in recent Gunners resurgence

The Gunners ended 2023 in poor form, as they failed to win their last three Premier League games of the year. After a draw against Liverpool on December 23, they suffered back-to-back losses against West Ham and Fulham. At the start of the new year, the club conducted a warm-weather training camp in Dubai and since returning from the Middle East, Arsenal have registered six straight league wins, where they have scored 25 goals.

Jorginho, who had a stellar outing in the team's 4-1 win over Newcastle United on Saturday, has now credited the Dubai camp for the team's sudden upturn in form.

Speaking to Arsenal.com after the match, the Italy international said, "It's a secret - only joking! I think we just kept working hard because in the end, we were creating but we maybe weren't finishing the chances that we were creating.

"Then something clicked - the connection between the players, with the staff, with the fans - it's just an amazing feeling all together and then things turn your way. The atmosphere at the Emirates, and it's just a pleasure to be here. We go out there and we give our best. We work hard and then we are really enjoying this journey together."

The 32-year-old midfielder, who joined the Gunners last year from Chelsea, played an important role in the club's 3-1 win over Liverpool earlier this month. The former Napoli ace has made 25 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring once and providing one assist.

Mikel Arteta's side will be next seen in action on March 4 as they take on Sheffield United in a Premier League clash at Bramall Lane.
