Carragher a big fan of Chelsea's 'class act' Jorginho

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher admits he's a big fan of Chelsea midfielder Jorginho.

Carragher says he has contributed to a pressing style under Maurizio Sarri not seen by previous managers Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.

“He looks a class act," Carragher said. “Now you know why Man City and Chelsea I think were fighting over him.

“These are the things we are looking at now in terms of passes. Now, I think that's also a big thing.

“When a manager comes in, you can already tell his style if he goes with that type of player in his holding-midfield role.

“A passer, rather than (N'Golo) Kante, who's more someone who can break things up. He's moved Kante's position to bring him in there.

“I think that shows how he wants to go forward with the team and the quality of this lad."
