Agent: 'Jorginho could leave Napoli'

Brazilian midfielder Jorginho could leave Napoli in January if the Italian club receive an "irrefutable offer", according to the 23-year-old's agent.

The agent of Napoli midfielder Jorginho has admitted that his client could leave his current club if the Italian outfit receive an "irrefutable offer" in the January transfer window.

A recent report claimed that Arsenal scouted the 23-year-old during Napoli's 0-0 draw with Genoa at the weekend.

Agent Joao Santos has admitted that he 'does not know' if that was actually the case, but is not surprised that there is interest in the Brazilian.

"I don't know if the Arsenal scouts were in Genoa for Jorginho. I'm not surprised that the player is doing very well - especially in light of the change of coach (Maurizio Sarri replacing Rafael Benitez) - and has top clubs interested in him," Santos told Radio Crc.

"One of the head scouts of Arsenal is well known, and so I know he was at Marassi for the Napoli match. Right now we're more thinking about Jorginho at Napoli than the transfer market.

"I'm in Brazil, and when I'm back we can discuss my client's contract. The priority is getting a call-up for the [Italy] national team, then there's the January transfer market. If Napoli receive an irrefutable offer for Jorginho in January then it's normal that we'd make our assessments."

Jorginho joined Napoli from Verona in 2014.
