Newcastle want to sign Jorginho as a free agent this summer if he leaves Chelsea, with Blues keen on lowering average age of squad and Graham Potter interested in World Cup star Enzo Fernandez

Newcastle United could move to acquire Chelsea stalwart Jorginho on a free transfer this summer if his contract at Stamford Bridge elapses.

The 31-year-old Italian has played over 130 games for the Blues since joining from Napoli in 2018, but his current deal only runs until the end of the current campaign, and Graham Potter's Chelsea are looking to reduce the average age of their squad.

It could leave Eddie Howe's Magpies in a position to pick up the Euro 2020 winner in the new year without having to pay a transfer fee to their Premier League rivals.
