The agent of Liverpool and Manchester City target Jorginho has revealed that even Arsenal and Chelsea have enquired about the possibility of signing his client.
The 26-year-old midfielder is set to emerge as one of the hottest names of the ongoing summer transfer window as interest from the Premier League is only getting more furious with each day.
Manchester City have identified him as their priority target and have already seen a bid rejected by Napoli and even Liverpool are interested in signing the Italy international.
But his agent, Joao Santos, claimed that other than the pair, even Chelsea and Arsenal are considering making a move for the Napoli midfield operator this summer.
Asked if Manchester City and Liverpool are after Jorginho, he said on Italian radio station Radio CRC: “Several teams are after him, even Arsenal and Chelsea have asked about him, but I don’t know what Napoli want to do.

“If they want Jorginho, they have to talk to Napoli because he still has two years left on his contract.”
Santos conceded that Manchester City and Liverpool have been in touch with him for Jorginho, but stressed that for the moment it is out of his hands as Napoli have not taken a decision on the midfielder’s future.
He stressed that unless Napoli decide to open any kind of negotiations with one of Jorginho’s suitors he cannot proceed despite being aware that agreeing terms with a Premier League side won’t be an issue.
“I’ve been in Brazil for a week and nobody in the club has called to me start any negotiations. Both Liverpool and Manchester City want him and they have called him, but I want to reiterate there are no negotiations as it is up to Napoli to open such talks.
“On the other hand I cannot agree anything with another club if Napoli don’t open negotiations.
“It would not be a problem to find an agreement with English teams of such stature, but that doesn’t mean we already have an agreement.”
