Jorginho‘s Arsenal contract is up next summer which means the January window will be their final chance to bring in some money for the Ita🌺lian midfielder.
However, Fabrizio Romano has told his that the 32-year-old is only🐬 focused on the season ahead with the Gunners.
“I’m not aware of anything concrete at this stage – all I know is that☂ Saliba is fully focused on Arsenal, while Arsenal obviously also consider Saliba as a key part of their project, nothing else,” he said.
“Some other Arsenal rumours have been circulat🐎ing involving Jorginho. However, I can say thওat the situation is that Jorginho is only thinking about this season.”
“It’s an important season for Arsenal, I don’t think all these links for Jorgi, Saliba etc are genuine and are good for the🔴 club… it’s only the beginning of October, the season started just 50 days ago.
“Jorginho’s full focus is on present, on Arsenal, not on moving into coachin🤪g and not on making the move to🌳 Saudi.”
Jorginho’s role at Arsenal to be tested by Mikel Merino
After joining in the sum🃏mer from Real Sociedad, Mikel Merino made his first appearance in the Premier League for the Gunners.
The midfielder was struggling from an injury when🍨 he arrived in north London which has kept him out of action ever since.
But Merino has now returned to the pitch last week against Pari🏅s Saint-Germain and then Southampton as Arteta’s opti𝔍ons have been boosted.
What this means for Jorginho’s opportuniti💫es in the side will have💞 to be seen with Merino expected to play a significant role after making the move from Sociedad over the summer.
