Gabriel Martinelli has revealed that Jorginho made a sly attempt to switch his international allegiance but he never considered representing anyone but Brazil.
The Arsenal youngster moved to the Emirates in 2019 and has made his name in north London. Martinelli is tipped for big things and has already helped his country claim Olympic Gold in Tokyo. He recently earned his first call-up to Brazil's senior side having only represented their youth teams up until now.
Martinelli does hold dual Brazil-Italian citizenship and Chelsea's midfielder, who played a key role in the Azzurri's Euro 2020 triumph, attempted to lure the Arsenal man away from the South American side. Jorginho himself could've played for Brazil but opted not to - a move Martinelli will not be following.
