#9 Jorginho

Chelsea v Olympique Lyonnais - Pre-Season Friendly

When Maurizio Sarri arrived from Napoli, a new style of football was expected at the Stamford Bridge. The Italian brought a potent midfielder along in the name of Jorginho. The Brazilian-Italian footballer is a box-to-box midfielder with tremendous defensive attributes.

Jorginho spent 4 years with the Italian side- Napoli and was key to Napoli's consistent showing in the domestic league. Chelsea never succeeded in replacing Nemanja Matic as the player bought in to cover the midfield, Tiemoue Bakayoko failed to match Matic's supreme performances for the blues.

Bakoyoko has joined AC Milan on loan and thus Chelsea had a major opening in the centre of the park. Jorginho has had a decent start as Chelsea have won their first 2 premier league encounters. The blues have paid a whopping £57 million to secure his services.
