Former England and Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has urged Chelsea to offer Jorginho a new contract at the club. It comes as the midfielder’s deal at Stamford Bridge nears its final year, with a number of clubs linked with a transfer.
The 30-year-old has spent four-years with the Blues, signing for just over £50million from Napoli in 2018. Jorginho was key to how new boss Maurizio Sarri wanted to play, having used him as a metronome in his possession-based style at the Azzurri.
It took time for him to capture the imagination of the supporters, but the past year has shown his importance to the side. The Italy vice-captain guided his nation to a European Championship victory last summer, as well as winning a Champions League and Club World Cup with the Blues, claiming third place in the Ballon d’Or in the process.
