Barcelona consider bid for Arsenal midfielder Jorginho

Barcelona are considering a move for Arsenal holding midfielder Jorginho in the winter or summer.

A report from ESPN states that Barca coach Xavi is a huge admirer of Jorginho.

The Italian would fit Xavi's short passing, possession dominating style of football.

While he is still a valuable squad member at Arsenal, Jorginho is not a regular starter when all players are fit.

Speaking to Italian outlet TMW last month, his agent Joao Santos outlined Jorginho's focus at the start of the season.

He stated: "Jorginho is focused on Arsenal, on the Premier League title race and the Champions League.

"He won't go to Fenerbahce."
