Arsenal midfield Jorginho has been linked with a move away from the North London club in recent months.
Saudi Arabian clubs are keen on signing Jorginho, but a report from Caught Offside has claimed that the 32-year-old is focused on staying at Arsenal and playing for them instead. The development will certainly come as a boost for Arsenal, who need more quality and depth in the middle of the park.
Jorginho has been a useful player for the Gunners since arriving from Chelsea, and his decision to continue at the North London club will certainly help the side. However, Arsenal should look to invest in quality young midfielders soon. They need to start planning for the future, with Jorginho and Partey on the wrong side of 30.
Jorginho is a useful option to have
Jorginho is a proven performer in the Premier League, and he is happy with the role of a squad player as well. Keeping him at the club for now is ideal for Arsenal. The midfielder earns £110,000-a-week wages at the North London club, and they could use his technical liability, composure and control from the deep. Apart from that, he is an expert penalty taker as well.
His leadership skills will also be very useful for Arsenal as they look to challenge for major trophies. The North Londoners missed out on the Premier League title in the last two seasons and they will be hoping to go all the way this time around. They need quality players at their disposal, and having experienced campaigners like Jorginho could prove to be invaluable for them.
Meanwhile, it is no secret that the Saudi Arabian clubs want to sign an Italian international. It will be interesting to see if they decide to test Arsenal’s resolve with an offer in January. They have the financial muscle to submit a lucrative proposal and tempt the Premier League club.
If there is a substantial offer on the table, Arsenal could be forced to consider a potential sale. Jorginho will be past his peak soon, and the opportunity to recoup a substantial amount of money for him cannot be turned down.
