ARSENAL midfielder Jorginho's future remains uncertain after his agent confirmed contract talks are at a "standstill".<\/p>\n
The Gunners signed the Italy international, 31, on Deadline Day back in January for \u00a312million from London rivals Chelsea.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He penned an 18-month deal with the club and has gone on to make 30 appearances for Mikel Arteta's side.<\/p>\n
However, the short contract means he is already set to become a free agent at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
And agent Joao Santos has now revealed there has been no progress when it comes to extending his stay, although Jorginho is keen to do so.<\/p>\n
Speaking to TUTTOmercatoWEB, he said:\u00a0"Everything is at a standstill.<\/p>\n
"We\u2019ll think about it after February. However, the priority remains Arsenal."<\/p>\n Jorginho has started just four of Arsenal's 12 Premier League games so far this season.<\/p>\n He was brought in as cover for Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey, but has found himself somewhat out in the cold since the arrival of Declan Rice.<\/p>\n Jorginho also came under fire after the North London derby in September.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n He gave the ball away for Tottenham's second-half equaliser in their 2-2 draw at the Emirates.<\/p>\n After the game, Arteta said: "They\u2019re allowed to make errors because they play and we don\u2019t play.<\/p>\n "For us, it\u2019s really easy, but if there is someone who is willing to help the team and do the most of it, it\u2019s Jorgi. We are all with him."<\/p>\n ARSENAL NEWS LIVE: <\/strong>KEEP UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE ONGOINGS FROM THE EMIRATES<\/p>\n<\/picture>BACK OF THE NET <\/span><\/p>\n
