- Frank Lampard looks ready to include Jorginho in his Chelsea plans for this season
- The Brazilian midfielder has piqued the interest of Arsenal this summer

- However, Arsenal continues to pursue Jorginho after his bid for Houssem Aouar failed.
Jorginho could still make a surprising move in London this summer, with Arsenal keeping their interest in the Chelsea midfielder.
The Brazilian has been linked to a David Luiz-style move through the division this summer, even though it appears to be a firm part of Frank Lampard’s plans.
Jorginho has three goals and one assist in his first three Premier League games this season, scoring a double in the 4-0 demolition of Crystal Palace on Saturday.

However, Arsenal are still interested in securing the star’s signature before Monday’s deadline, according to Sky Sports.
It appears that the Gunners will miss their main midfielder target, Houssem Aouar, with the Frenchman reportedly staying at Lyon for 2020-21.
Arsenal suffered greatly from the financial hit football suffered amid the coronavirus pandemic, but has so far managed to pocket central defender Gabriel for £ 23 million.
