He has attracted the Premier League rivals Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur. Additionally, Eriksen would even look for a possible reunion with his former club.

Jorginho has been a key player for the London club but Italian clubs Napoli and Inter Milan. He has scored 15 goals in 120 appearances for Chelsea. However, as per Jorge Santos, Jorginho’s agent, the 29-year-old Italian midfielder would like to have a possible reunion with his former coach Maurizio Sarri if the coach joins Naples.

“Football is dynamic and nothing can be ruled out. If [Maurizio] Sarri returns to Napoli, he would make an attempt to take Jorginho back, he is perfect for his football. I can’t rule it [a return to Napoli for Jorginho] out,”  as per Jorge Santos.

The Blues under the coach Tuchel are trying to build a stronger side to challenge for the League and other competitions by swapping Christian Eriksen for Jorginho.
