Jorginho extends Napoli contract

Napoli have confirmed that Jorginho has agreed a contract extension with the club.

The midfielder has recently been linked with a January move to Premier League outfit Arsenal.

However, the 24-year-old has put an end to the speculation by signing fresh terms that have committed him to the Naples-based outfit for another five years.

"Napoli announce the renewal of the contract with Jorginho until June 30, 2020," read a statement on the club's official website.

Jorginho joined Napoli from fellow Serie A outfit Verona 18 months ago.
