The 31-year-old can be seen grinning from ear to ear after sealing a switch to the Emirates.
He has been snapped posing alongside his agent, Joao Santos.
And his new squad number also appears to have been revealed.
He was wearing Arsenal tracksuit bottoms in the picture, bearing the No20, which is currently unoccupied.
That suggests Jorginho will be the new No20 at the Emirates.
Jorginho was No5 for Chelsea, but that number is already taken at Arsenal by Thomas Partey.
He has previously won the No8 and No19, for Napoli and Verona respectively.
But again both of those numbers are taken at Arsenal, with skipper Martin Odegaard the No8 and new man Leandro Trossard taking the No19.

The Gunners opted to swoop for Jorginho in a cut-price £12m deal after seeing bids of £60m and £70m rejected by Brighton for Moises Caicedo.
That was despite the Ecuadorian midfielder publicly begging to be sold.
