Joao Santos, agent of Napoli midfielder Jorginho, is refusing to be drawn on whether his client has received offers from English clubs.

Jorginho has been in exceptional form for Napoli in the current campaign and his progress in Italy has not gone unnoticed. The midfielder has been linked with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in England, while French champions Paris Saint-Germain have also had their hat thrown into the ring.




Chatter is growing that Jorginho may be the subject of a bid in the winter transfer window, but Santos is unwilling to talk about approaches from England.

Asked by Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, he replied: "This is a question for [Napoli sporting director Cristiano] Guintoli, not me.
 


"Certainly he is doing well, so it is normal that he will attract the interest of the big teams. But I do not know if Napoli are planning to enter into negotiations", he continued.

"If there are teams that are following him then that is obviously because they think that Jorginho would be helpful to their cause."

Santos does however concede that he has been in touch with Guintoli over his client, as Napoli look to extend Jorginho's contract.

"I've spoken to Guintoli over the phone. Not just to talk about a new contract, but also to try to improve the boy's situation.

"As for the new contract, if Napoli want to talk, we are ready to discuss it soon."

Jorginho was linked with a number of English clubs prior to his move to Napoli from Hellas Verona.

So far this term the 23-year-old, who was born in Brazil, but is eligible to play for Italy at international level, has clocked up 12 appearances in all competitions for the Azzurri.

Napoli have Jorginho locked down on a contract at the club until the summer of 2018.
