Premier League 2018-19: Top 5 Signings of the Summer

#1 Jorginho (Chelsea)

Jorginho has been irresistible for Chelsea

Jorginho was brought through the Stamford Bridge door by Sarri with the intention of making him the torch-bearer of ‘SarriBall’ at Chelsea. A couple of months later, one can safely say that Jorginho has ensured that the SarriBall revolution has engulfed Chelsea and the rest of the Premier League.

Jorginho is a metronomic passer of the football and rarely puts a foot wrong with the ball at his feet. He has started every league game for Chelsea and averages an astounding 108 passes per game at an accuracy of 90%. However, his crowning glory came at St. James’ Park where he out-passed the entire Newcastle team en route to a 2-1 victory.

Jorginho has been the fulcrum around which the Chelsea team has revolved. He has helped Sarri ingrain his philosophy on the team. With Jorginho working a charm, Chelsea have embarked on an unbeaten run which has seen them occupy the 3rd place on the league table.

In the off-season, Sarri pulled out a masterstroke by snatching Jorginho from under Manchester City’s noses. If he continues in the same vein, Jorginho could help Chelsea win the title they won back in 2016-17.

Therefore, for these reasons, Jorginho ranks as the best Premier League signing of the summer.
