The former Napoli star followed his ex-manager Sarri to Stamford Bridge as the first step in a rebuilding process for the Blues.

Jorginho was formally announced as a Chelsea player on Saturday morning and will cost up to £57million including add-ons, as well as hefty wages.

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will persevere with their 3-4-3 formation in 2018/19, though Sarri’s history suggests a change in style for the Blues, with Jorginho a key aspect of the new-look strategy.
