Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool transfer target Jorginho has spoken about his admiration for the Premier League
The Premier League trio, who all sit in the top six of the English top-flight standings respectively, have been linked with summer swoops for the Napoli midfielder.
The 26-year-old, who has five international caps for Italy, has scored four goals and provided four assists in 32 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A outfit so far this season.
Jorginho, who joined Napoli from Italian rivals Hellas Verona back in January 2014, has netted six goals in 153 games overall for the club.

After featuring for the Azzurri during Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw against England at Wembley Stadium, the central defensive midfielder was asked if he liked the Premier League.
He replied, via the Express, “Yes, very much!”
Fellow midfielder Michael Carrick, a former England international, is set to retire this summer, meaning Manchester United have been eyeing Napoli’s Jorginho as his long-term successor, who is valued at £36m, by transfermarkt.
