Unable to fully stamp his mark on Mikel Arteta’s squad at Arsenal, Jorginho has constantly been linked with a move from the Emirates in each of the last two transfer windows without anything really happening.
However, it appears that his agent could be gearing up for a busy summer if his latest comments, relayed by Calciomercato.it journalist Eleonora Trotta, are to be believed.

Santos did also add: “Arsenal have priority. In any case, we want the right club for him.”
The 32-year-old has made 25 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal this season, only 12 of which have been starts, scoring one goal and picking up an assist.
