Jorginho: Mum convinced me to choose Chelsea over Man City

Jorginho admits he moved to Chelsea on the recommendation of his Mum.

The midfielder snubbed Manchester City to join Chelsea from Napoli last summer.

Jorginho said, "Many things happened and in the end it comes down to your personal preference. I am very happy with my choice, so I now play at Chelsea.

"My mother had a big influence on my choice for this club. I talk a lot with my mother, also about this.

"She has always stood by my choices."

Jorginho is impressed by teammate Eden Hazard and also said: "With the potential he has, he can become the best player in the world. In the new role he can score more often. He has it in him to further improve those qualities."
