With his incredible passing range, creativity, vision and ability to control the game from midfield, former Napoli man Jorginho is among Europe's finest midfielders right now.

He brings the best out of his teammates with his exceptional reading of the game and averages an eyewatering 90 passes per game in the league this term - alongside an impressive 90.9% completion rate.

The 27-year-old contributes heavily on the defensive side of things too, working as a shield in-front of the Blues' backline. To date, he has completed 22 tackles this term and helped Sarri's side maintain the third-best defensive record in the league.

The Italian international joined Chelsea for £57million from Napoli over the summer and already, it has proved to be an excellent piece of business by the club. Also linked with title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool, Maurizio Sarri's connections during his own spell in Naples proved vital in luring him to Stamford Bridge.
