Jorginho claims interest from Arsenal and Chelsea

Hellas Verona midfielder Jorginho claims that both Arsenal and Chelsea have sent scouts to watch him. The Brazilian-born Italian midfielder has been touted as a major target for both London clubs during the transfer window after catching the eye with impressive performances for Verona.

The 21-year-old told the Gazetta Dello Sport: "In the match against Parma there were scouts from teams like Arsenal and Chelsea.

"Maybe if I keep playing well I can show exactly what I'm worth."

But his latest performance did not impress Verona boss Andrea Mandorlini, who branded his performance as his worst of the season.

He said: "I changed his position more than once because he was struggling. In the end I decided to not replace him and perhaps that was the right decision."
