Arsenal were deemed to be keen in signing the Brazilian starket during the January transfer window, but were bowed out of the transfer by Verona’s asking price of £6 million.<br />

According to media reports in Italy, the Premier League duo of Chelsea and Manchester City have been impressed by Jorginho’s on-field performances and would be interested to capture his signature.<br />

Jorginho, is known for his flair and passing which was instrumental in securing Verona’s promotion to the Serie A for the 2013-14 season. He was rumoured to be associated with a move to Italian giants AC Milan in the past, but nothing concrete ever turned up.<br />

It seems that as of now if Verona can arrive at a reasonable transfer fee agreement with one of his two suitors.If Jorginho does secure a move to England, it is highly likely that the 21-year-old would be out loaned immediately as he would be considered as a long-term project.
