Jorginho ‘ecstatic’ to finally be a Blue

Chelsea new boy Jorginho has revealed he is ‘ecstatic’ to have followed Maurizio Sarri to Stamford Bridge.

The Italian playmaker became Sarri’s first signing as Chelsea boss when he joined the club earlier today on a five-year-deal.

Sarri and Jorginho spent three seasons together at Napoli, where the midfielder established himself as a key member of the 59-year-old’s squad.

And following his move to Chelsea, the midfielder says he is delighted to have joined the Blues and follow in the footsteps of his former, and now current, boss.

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.”

Jorginho is believed to have snubbed a move to Manchester City in favour of joining Chelsea, where he will undoubtedly become a regular starter in Maurizio Sarri’s side.

Chelsea 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.”
