Manchester City to sign £46.5m Jorginho from Napoli this week

Chelsea are among the club having a look at Napoli midfielder Jorginho

Manchester City expect to complete the £46.5m signing of Napoli midfielder Jorginho this week, according to Sky in Italy.

The final details between the clubs are being sorted - with one particular sticking point believed to be the five per cent sell-ons that are due to the midfielder's previous club Verona.

But Sky in Italy believe the deal will be finalised by the end of the week.
