#1 Jorginho (Chelsea, Italy)
When Maurizio Sarri joined Chelsea in the summer of this year, he ensured that his trusted lieutenant Jorginho made the move with him, because the Italian knew that he needed his country man to successfully implement his system at Chelsea and rule the Premier League. And Jorginho has done just that.
At Napoli, Jorginho ran the orchestra from the middle of the park last season, as Sarri's team made Juventus sweat to win the Serie A. Since making the move to Chelsea, Jorginho has taken over the reigns at Chelsea and has bossed the midfield consistently. Every thing that has happened in the Chelsea team on the pitch, good or bad, goes through their Italian midfield marshall and Jorginho gives the rest of the team the confidence to play the ball out of trouble with ease.
It not a wonder then, that Jorginho has the most touches in the Premier League this season - 1297. He has also completed 1186 passes so far in the league, with an average of almost 99 passes per game and he is, without any doubt, the best passer in the league so far this season.
