Jorginho's agent delivered an update on the player’s Arsenal future amid transfer speculation.

After the disappointment of missing out on Brighton's Moises Caicedo, Arsenal decided to turn their attention to the former Chelsea midfielder, Jorginho, who was in the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge.

The 31-year-old completed a £12million move from Premier League rivals Chelsea, to add depth to Arsenal's options in midfield. He joined for an initial 18 months with the option of a further year.

Jorginho's agent hints at player's possible Arsenal departure

Jorginho's agent Joao Santo has fueled speculation about a possible exit by claiming that the former Napoli and Chelsea man could go anywhere.

Speaking on the radio show Si Gonfia la Rete, via Napoli Magazine, Santos said:

 "Jorginho can win the Premier League with Arsenal, there are 10 games left which will be 10 finals. It has been years since he has won the championship so there is great motivation.

"Football is dynamic, when Arsenal took him the Italian teams didn't need a player like Jorginho. With his characteristics and his very intelligent football, he can go anywhere." 

Jorginho has played second fiddle to first-choice holding midfielder Thomas Partey at the Emirates Stadium, starting four Premier League games when the Ghana international has been injured.

As Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his midfield at the end of the season, with West Ham United captain Declan Rice as his top priority, Jorginho could face further competition and may decide to seek a move away.
