Jorginho could join Immobile at Besiktas from Arsenal | OneFootball

According to reports in Turkey, Italy international midfielder Jorginho could reunite with Ciro Immobile at Besiktas in January from Arsenal.

He is widely expected to leave the Gunners at the end of the season, when his contract comes to an end, but could be open to an earlier departure for a small fee.

Sabah suggest that Besiktas have set their sights firmly on the former Verona, Napoli and Chelsea player.

Jorginho turns 33 next month and has really struggled for playing time this season, making only seven appearances in all competition for Arsenal.

He was purchased from their London rivals Chelsea for €11.3m in January 2023, but dropped down the pecking order.

His high salary is a reason why the Premier League side might be ready to let him leave for practically nothing in January.

Jorginho has 57 senior caps for Italy and was a key player in their EURO 2020 triumph.

He’d have a familiar face already at Besiktas, where Immobile is enjoying 12 goals in 16 games for the Turkish side.
