Liverpool have reportedly stepped up their attempts to sign Hellas Veronaâs Italian-Brazilian starlet Jorginho.The 21-year-old creative midfielderâs full name is Jorge Luiz Frello Filho, but he is known to supporters by his nickname.
Born and raised in Brazil, Jorginho grew up in the Verona youth academy and has opted to represent Italy at international level, receiving one cap so far for the Under-21 side.
Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all sent scouts to view him at Verona, but Sky Sport Italia claim Liverpool are surging forward.
The Anfield side is proposing an offer worth ÂŁ8m â approximately âŹ10.5m.
Yahoo! Decent little player, Jorginho.
He's very good with the ball at his feet, is always in space, sees the runs of other players and his final ball is pretty good too. His defensive work, including tracking back is also pretty good.
He does sometimes leave himself too high up the pitch, leaving defenders exposed (when he's playing a defensive role), and tends to be a bit lazy with his passes on occasion.
