Flamengo are believed to have held talks with Jorginho and his representatives. But according to Brazilian newspaper O Dia, the financial demands laid out by the Arsenal man are ' out of touch '. Flamengo have therefore rejected his contract terms and sent a counter-offer to see if they can land Jorginho without breaking the bank.

Benjamin Sesko has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal and the player's agent has commented on the rumours.
