Born in Brazil and raised in Italy, Jorginho mixes the flavours of his upbringing and the colours of his roots in his football. He followed Sarri from Napoli to Stamford Bridge and was tasked with reshaping the Blues midfield. Jorginho responded by instantly becoming one of the best midfielders of the Premier League this season.

The Italian has completed a massive 853 passes in the 8 games he has played so far, which means that Jorginho averages almost 107 passes per game. The statistics are frighteningly good and the midfielder has been the heart of the Blues team this season. He has been dictating terms from his deep-lying position and has attempted 4 through balls and 19 accurate long balls. Jorginho has also allowed Kante to discover an attacking edge which has taken Chelsea further ahead.

He has attempted just 14 tackles but has made 53 recoveries. He has committed 4 fouls, but has not picked up a card yet. This shows that Jorginho is not just your average defensive midfielder, he is the architect who has orchestrated the Sarri Ball revolution in the Premier League so far.
To make the cake even sweeter, he has also found the net once in the 8 games he has played so far. The Italian is Chelsea’s main man and has transformed the blues into Title favourites with his work ethics, guile and qualities on the ball. There is no denying that Jorginho is currently the most impressive new signing this season.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over seven years at Sportskeeda. He has written more than 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 20 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
