Jorginho's agent Joao Santos revealed that talks over a possible renewal of the Italian midfielder's contract with Arsenal are at a "standstill".

Jorginho's agent Joao Santos spoke about the Italian midfielder's situation at Arsenal, whom he joined in January from Chelsea in a move worth around £12m. 

The Italy international signed a contract until 2024 with an option for a further year with the Gunners. The former Blues player's agent said talks over a possible contract renewal are at a 'standstill'.

"We'll think about it after February. However, the priority remains Arsenal," said the agent. Some top clubs have the 31-year-old on their radar, such as Milan, who are reportedly keen to bring Jorginho back to his native Italy.

The former Chelsea man has made 30 official appearances for the Gunners since joining the Emirates Stadium outfit, 19 of them starts. He has yet to make his goalscoring debut but has provided an assist.
