Chelsea legend Pat Nevin says Manchester City would "batter the door down" to sign Jorginho.

The Italy international endured a difficult debut season with the Blues, but capped it off with a Europa League triumph on Wednesday.

"I thought the stuff being said about Sarri was nonsense," Nevin told Radio 5 Live Sport.

"I thought the Jorginho thing was a masterstroke from the start, [N'Golo] Kante's been brilliant since he moved into that forward area.

"I think some of the stuff that was said about Sarri after the [Carabao] cup final was - I'll not use the word I was going to use there - but rubbish as well.

"He's built something really nice-looking and I've enjoyed watching it being built.

"When people say these things about players like Jorginho and the manager, I'm kind of offended by them.

"If I say it they'll just say, 'You're biased towards Chelsea'. Man City would batter the door down to take Jorginho right now, that's how good a player he is.

"We hear all this stuff and I do not get it or see it. Sarri in his first year has had an amazing year.

"Third place was a scrape but they got there. They've won [the Europa League] at a canter, played absolutely brilliantly.

"I would love to see that guy get another year, but he might not because Chelsea do strange things and change their managers very, very quickly.

"I hope they don't do it this time, that guy deserves another year to see if he can develop it further."
