Arsenal star photo with Thomas Tuchel emerges after Ben White England talks
Jorginho's fiance, Catherine Harding, has shared a 'past photo dump' on social media showing the Arsenal player posing alongside former Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel.
Another image shows the midfielder with his arm around Mason Mount.
The ex-Chelsea team-mates also had a group photograph with current Blues players Ben Chilwell, Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah, but not Tuchel.

The photo appears to be from a private party they all attended, with Harding joining Jorginho in a few images. All-but-Chalobah were part of the 2021 Champions League-winning Chelsea team that also won the Club World Cup and European Super Cup.
It is unclear when the photos are from, but they have surfaced less than a week after Tuchel is said to have had talks with one of Jorginho's Arsenal team-mates, Benjamin White.
BBC Sport claims sources told them about the discussions between the new England head coach and the Gunners defender.
However, they acknowledged there is no suggestion that such talks mean White is assured of being in the first squad Tuchel names on March 13 for their first two 2026 World Cup qualifiers, both at Wembley Stadium, against Group K opponents Albania and Latvia. James Maddison said before reports about the White talks emerged that Tuchel had also been in contact with him.
"He has touched base," the Tottenham Hotspur player said of Tuchel. "I think he was reaching out to a lot of players who would be in the selection, probably quite a big pool of players that the FA have identified."
The Telegraph has previously reported that Tuchel has spoken to Noni Madueke on the phone and former Brentford striker Ivan Toney via video call.
England's new head coach is said to have compiled a list of the country's best players, which is said to include as many as 50 names.
