Ex-Chelsea captain Wise: Jorginho left me saying 'wow'

Former Chelsea captain Dennis Wise admits he's a fan of Jorginho.

The former Napoli midfielder has been outstanding for Chelsea this season.

Wise told the Daily Star: “Maurizio (Sarri) knows him so well and Jorginho knows Sarri's ideas and what he expects.

“His advantage to the team and to Sarri is that he has known [what the manager has wanted] for many years.

“He understands him and there's nothing better then when you're trying to put your ideas over to a team than having someone who you can stick in the middle of the park and issue those ideas on the field.

“He's been massive. I watched him in pre-season, he was pressing high up, filling the gaps and pulling people over. “I thought, wow, it's like having the coach on the field because he knows his ideas.

“He's been brilliant and a massive signing, massive."
