ARSENAL are reportedly set to bid for Napoli star Jorginho.
According to TMW, the Gunners are keen on bringing him to the Premier League.
However, Jorginho has a contract with Napoli until 2020 and it’s highly unlikely he’d move in the January transfer window.
That apparently won’t stop Arsenal from pursuing a deal though, and they could wait for next summer to launch a bid.
Jorginho is enjoying his best season in Serie A to date and has played a key role in helping Napoli get to the top of the table.
The playmaker has a Brazilian background but was born in Italy, leading to him being capped twice by now-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte in two friendlies before Euro 2016.

But Jorginho is yet to make a competitive appearance since, and it’s believed he will soon declare for Brazil, who want him in their squad for the 2018 World Cup.
However, Napoli have a history of playing hardball when big clubs start sniffing around their top players.
