Jorginho has been called the next Pirlo, and rightly so due to his mastery in the holding midfield position. The Brazilian born Italian International is one of the best passers of the ball in Europe right now. He was picked up this season by Chelsea from Napoli which was one of the attacking powerhouses of Europe last season.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri's most important player, Jorginho is the perfect man to replace a player like Andrea Pirlo at the International stage, thanks to the striking similarities in their way of playing and passing the ball.
