Arsenal will let veteran midfielder Jorginho leave in the January transfer window.

The Italian, who arrived from Chelsea six months ago, is already on the periphery of the first team.

With the likes of Declan Rice signed in the summer, Jorginho has slipped down the pecking order with Mikel Arteta.

Per Sport Italia, a return to Italy may be on the cards for the pass master, who wants to play more.

Jorginho had been willing to stay on at Arsenal for the rest of the season, but knows that he must move to play.

His contract expires at the end of the season, but Arsenal can extend it by one more year if they wish.
