Chelsea midfielder Jorginho breaks Premier League record

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has broken another Premier League passing record.

The Sun reports Jorginho has set a new record for the most passes made in one Premier League season without recording a single assist.

After Wednesday night's 2-0 win over Tottenham, Jorginho has made 2,332 passes from his deep-lying spot on the field.

That's over 100 more than the next in line, Swansea's Leon Britton during the 2011-12 campaign.

While Birmingham's Barry Ferguson recorded 2,168 passes during the 2009-10 season.
