Jorginho has played a key role in Napoli’s brilliant start in Serie A – they are first after 11 games
He was initially linked with Arsenal in March 2016 after his agent Joao Santos claimed the Gunners and Real Madrid were impressed by the player’s form.
‘Interest from Arsenal? It’s true,’ Santos told Radio Kiss last year. ‘After the game against Palermo, compliments arrived from Real Madrid as well.’
‘Only compliments, nothing more. But it’s pleasing to receive expressions of respect from one of the most prestigious clubs in the world.’
Jorginho will be in action on Wednesday in Napoli’s Champions League encounter at home against Manchester City.
The Italian side have so far failed to reproduce their superb domestic form in European competition.
