ArsenalmidfielderJorginhocould be ‘allowed to go’ if replacements are signed at the Emirates Stadium, journalistDean Joneshas suggested to GIVEMESPORT.
It’s no secret that the Gunners are looking to bring in reinforcements.
Jorginho, who is earning£110k-a-weekatArsenal, signed from London rivals Chelsea last summer for a fee of £12m, according toSky Sports.
Arsenal are in the process of trying to signWest Ham UnitedmidfielderDeclan Rice, with a bid totalling £105m recently submitted, as perDavid Ornstein.
This could lead to an uncertain future forJorginho, who may find himself playing a squad role next season.
Jorginho’s agent recently spoke about his client’s future at the Emirates,saying: “It’s not about the interest of Lazio or their budget… I can confirm thatJorginhois very happy atArsenal. In our ρłɑɴs, it’s onlyArsenalfor next season. No negotiations with Lazio.”
However, ifArsenalcontinue to recruit new midfielders, you’d imagine Jorginho’s ρłɑɴs may change.
The Italy international started nine Premier League games last campaign, as perFBref, but the arrival of Rice could see that decrease even further.
Kai Havertz, who has also been linked with a move to the Gunners, has admitted previously that he’s ‘more or less a midfield player’, meaning Mikel Arteta could have another option in the middle of the park.
What has Jones said about Jorginho?
Jones has suggested that there are doubts about the future ofJorginhoatArsenal.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said:”We will have to wait and see who actually єɴԀs up leaving. At the moment,Arsenalare having to be a little bit careful about who they let out.
“They’ve got interest in a few players and obviously there are doubts around Thomas Partey, there are doubts aroundJorginho. I think they want to make sure they get their other midfielders in before these guys are allowed to go.”
CouldJorginhohave a future at Arsenal?
Looking at a lot of Arsenal’s signings under Arteta, they’ve mostly targeted younger, up-and-coming players in their recruitment.
If the Gunners continue to sign midfielders in the transfer window, then it will certainly cast doubt over the future ofJorginho.
However, after only signing for the club in January and starting to settle in over the last few months, the former Chelsea man may not want to seek another transfer this summer.
