The summer transfer window of 2018 is halfway through, and we have witnessed some really good signings. The Premier League clubs have been the most active in this season's summer transfer window.
We saw Liverpool sign Alisson from Roma making him the world's costliest goalkeeper. Juventus signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid after helping them win four Champions League and two La Liga titles. Manchester City signed Riyad Mahrez from Leicester City.
Chelsea appointed Maurizio Sarri after they sacked Antonio Conte last season. Maurizio Sarri was a great success in Italy last season with Napoli helping them finish second in the league trailing leaders by just 4 points.
Sarri has signed Jorginho from Napoli at the cost of €57 mill which is his only signing this transfer window.
Here are the key reasons why Jorignho will be of immense importance in Chelsea's bid to win Premier League after last winning the coveted trophy in 2016:
#4 Jorginho and Sarri know each other very well
Jorginho is Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder. Jorginho started his professional football career with Verona and signing for Napoli permanently in January 2014.
Since joining Napoli he has never looked back and worked hard immensely to reach the top of the game he is today. Jorginho was in the starting XI in 33 games for Napoli in Serie A last season.
Though he only scored two goals and assisted four, he played a pivotal role to help Napoli reach the second position in Serie A 2018 trailing just by four points to league topper Juventus.
Sarri usually played with a 4-3-3 formation at Napoli. He will try to use the same formation at Chelsea. With a defensive midfielder holding, it will allow two or more midfielders to attack when given space. Sarri will make the two centre-backs spread while Jorginho will build the attack helping attacking players to finish.
Sarri and Jorginho, who have worked together for 3 years, will both make an incredible pair.
N.B: The goals and assist stats are according to whoscored.com
#3 Incredible players around him at Chelsea
Jorginho joins Chelsea whilst they already have an elite squad including Fabregas, Hazard, Kante, Pedro, Marcos Alonso, Christensen and many more.
Chelsea did not perform up to par only winning FA cup in 2018 after winning Premier League in 2017. The main reason behind Chelsea's unsuccessful 2 years was Antonio Conte's tactics.
He used to play a defensive 3-4-3 formation which did not suit Chelsea's players. With players like Hazard, Pedro and Fabregas, playing defensively was not the right decision at all.
Now with Sarri appointed as Chelsea's manager, players will try to come out at the top. Sarri plays with a formation that suits tactically gifted players in the Chelsea squad.
Sarri generally plays attacking and passing football which will help Jorginho and other players perform according to their standards. Sarri believes in playing beautiful football, which will improve Chelsea given the depth and qualities of the squad.

#2 Jorginho's passing and defensive strengths
Jorginho was among the best players in Seria A last season. He was among the best passers in Serie A in 2017/2018. Jorginho completed more passes than any player in top 5 divisions last season.
He will thrive under Sarri at Chelsea as he did with Sarri at Napoli. He won 62 tackles last season which will help Chelsea massively since Premier League is the most competitive club competition in the world.
He created 49 chances last season and made 50 interception which proves his defensive awareness. Jorginho is just 26 which means he has a lot of years left in him.

#1 Incredible debut for Chelsea against Perth Glory
Jorginho made his debut for Chelsea FC against Perth glory in pre-season friendly. He was the standout player in Chelsea starting XI against Perth Glory.
He just played for 45 minutes against Perth Glory and proved why Sarri was keen to bring Jorginho to Chelsea with him.
According to ItalianFootballTV, Jorginho in his first 45 minutes for Chelsea had 101 touches which is quite exceptional. He completed 98 passes which is praise-worthy, and it will help Chelsea to a great extent. Jorginho averaged a pass every 27 seconds
With the qualities Jorginho has in him, he will undoubtedly make his mark on the Premier League and help Chelsea reach the top.
