Jorginho's agent has revealed that the experienced midfielder will be remaining with Arsenal this summer despite the speculation surrounding his client's future at the Emirates Stadium.
The Italy international made the move to Arsenal from Chelsea in January, and he featured on 16 occasions for the Gunners in the second half of the 2022-23 campaign.
Jorginho only has a contract with Mikel Arteta's side until next June, though, and there has been speculation surrounding his future during the summer market.
The 31-year-old has been the subject of interest from Saudi Arabian and Spanish clubs this summer, according to his agent Joao Santos, but the midfielder will be remaining at Arsenal.
"I'm sure, Jorginho will stay at Arsenal. He's happy in England. Let's move on," Santos told TMW. "I had some calls from Saudi and also Spanish clubs like him but he's staying at Arsenal, it's decided."
Jorginho was not involved in Arsenal's Community Shield clash with Manchester City last weekend due to a minor injury.
Granit Xhaka has left the Emirates Stadium this summer, but the competition for a starting role in central midfield has increased following the arrivals of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz.
Arsenal will be bidding to make the perfect start to their 2023-24 Premier League campaign when they welcome Nottingham Forest to North London on Saturday afternoon.
Arteta's side, who finished second in the table last season, will then head to Crystal Palace on August 21 before finishing the month at home to Fulham.
Jorginho made 213 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 29 goals and contributing eight assists in the process, before making the move to Arsenal earlier this year.
There had been suggestions last summer that he could return to Italy, having had a highly-successful spell with Napoli in Serie A before making the move to English football.
Jorginho is likely to find it difficult to secure regular starts this season due to the competition for places, but head coach Arteta is said to value his professionalism and experience.
Arsenal could have three Premier League debutants in the team against Forest on Saturday afternoon, with Rice, Havertz and Jurrien Timber all in line to feature in the campaign opener. body check tags ::
