3 reasons why Jorginho is a good signing for Chelsea

#2 He solves Chelsea's midfield problems

SSC Napoli v FC Crotone - Serie A

Chelsea did some terrible transfer business last season and its impact was seen on their dismal midfield performances.

Some still question why Chelsea broke their extremely successful midfield partnership of Matic and Kante by selling Matic to Manchester United.

They also loaned out a budding English prospect in Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and the players they bought in struggled to have an impact.

In those regards, Jorginho seems to be a breath of fresh air. He has all the attributes that make him the perfect midfielder.

His biggest strengths lie not in his physical prowess but in his technical ability. He's a quick reader of the game and an extremely intelligent footballer. He's a great passer and distributer off the ball. His presence is always felt on the pitch by the entire team. It's because of these traits that he possesses that he's likened to Andrea Pirlo.

Last year, he had the highest pass completion rate in the whole of Europe. In 2015, he broke Pirlo's record of having the most number of touches in a game. He also has the Serie A record for the most number of passes completed in a game since 2014-2015.
