Sarri pushing Arsenal midfielder Jorginho about Lazio move

Former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri was hoping to lure Jorginho to Lazio this summer.

The Italian midfielder is currently at Arsenal, where he signed in January from Chelsea.

While Jorginho is not first choice with the Gunners, especially after they secure their prime transfer targets, he is happy in London.

Per the Evening Standard, the 31-year-old is in no rush to move, which appears to end Lazio's pursuit of his signature.

Sarri and Jorginho go way back, having worked together at both Napoli and then at Chelsea.

However, the veteran Italian midfielder may prefer being settled in London to uprooting his family.
