Jorginho's agent delivers honest verdict on his client's Arsenal future amid contract claim

Jorginho's agent has claimed that his client is enjoying life at Arsenal.

The Italian international joined Mikel Arteta's side during the January transfer window, signing from London rivals Chelsea following four and a half successful years at Stamford Bridge. Since then, he has settled into life well in the northern part of the capital, featuring in 14 Premier League matches for the Gunners

Now, his agent Joao Santos has claimed that the 31-year-old isn't in any rush to extend his contract at the Emirates Stadium. Speaking to Italian outlet TMW, via Tribal Football, Santos said: "Have we already talked about the renewal of the contract? Not yet. "For now we are calm."

"We have a contract - with an option - until 2025." One midfielder that will be leaving Arsenal this summer is Granit Xhaka.

football.london reported last month that Xhaka is in advanced talks to sign for Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen, joining for on a €15million (£13million) deal. The Swiss captain will pen a contract until 2027.

In terms of midfield incomings, West Ham United star Declan Rice remains the Gunners' priority target for the summer transfer window, football.london understands. Arteta is keen to bolster his options in the centre of the park and Rice certainly fits the billing - establishing himself as one of the most consistent performers in the Premier League over the last few years.
