Jorginho has followed Maurizio Sarri from Napoli to Chelsea and in doing so becomes our first signing of the summer.


He has signed a five-year contract and will wear the no.5 shirt.

Jorginho said: ‘I am absolutely ecstatic to be here at Chelsea. It is not easy to become part of such a big team so I am very, very happy. I am excited to play in such an intense league, for a team that gives everything to play and win.’

Club director Marina Granovskaia added: ‘We are delighted Jorginho has chosen to join Chelsea. He was one of the most coveted midfielders in Europe and will become an important member of the playing squad. He has demonstrated his quality working under Maurizio Sarri and we are convinced his signing will help bring further success to Stamford Bridge.’

From his position as a deep-lying playmaker in a midfield trio, Jorginho was a vital cog in Sarri’s Napoli. The 26-year-old is a highly technical footballer capable of dictating the tempo of play in possession with quick passing and movement.

In Naples, his ability to link defence and attack stood out. Indeed, in Europe’s big five leagues last season, no player had more touches of the ball per minute than Jorginho.

Alongside his technical qualities, he is a combative player willing to put his foot in to regain possession, and his positioning without the ball further aids his effectiveness in front of the defence.

Jorginho is the perfect fit for Sarri’s high-tempo, possession-based style of play and he will look to continue from where he left off in Italy, the country for whom he has eight caps at international level.

Part of me desperately want to see the people suffer a meltdown over Jorginho had he gone to Man City and done well under Guardiola. Those same fellas who are criticizing now would be the same ones ba

I'm fuckin ashamed at peeps booing Jorgi. Call themselves supporters. Why the fuck does he get singled out when all the other cunts play shit useless too? Such selective memories of some! I'm gon

He’s made the most forward passes in the PL so this is rubbish. Open up your mind, expand your football knowledge. Learn the regista role and what it’s meant to do, it’s function in a team.

Woooo, finally - Seems he is taking Number 5 rather than the 8 we expected... so we know barkley has took 20, does this mean we should be expecting a new number 8 coming? :ph34r:

Fantastic signing. We've been looking for a controlling/creative midfielder for years that is not a defensive liability like Fabregas and we've finally got one just because we got an attacking coach.

Hopefully many more signings like this to come :)

Roman delivers. To think there was talk of him selling up. Haha. Absolutely buzzing over this signing. Not only have we just got one of the best passing midfielders in Europe, we got one up on City. Get the fuck in.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE signing!

This is a sign of intent from the board, this is an unbelievable moment for us, we managed to sign a top 3 midifielder in his position guys, this is an absolutely gigantic signing for us, the level that Azpi, Kante and Eden were.

I am actually pretty emotional that this actually happened. i love this club so freaking much

No. 8 is for Golovin my bet. So we have a new ballack(jorginho)-essien(kante)-lampard(golovin)...

I just read a post on a gooner site they said all they (us) need now is Golovin and the center of the pitch is theirs!

With Sarri & his midfield maestro Jorginho, this is well and truly the start of a new era at Chelsea.  This is the sort of midfield signing we've been beggin for for years. Delighted!

If we can snag Golovin to complete our midfield...geez, what a side we'll have! Assuming we keep Hazard, of course.
