The agent
of Chelsea star Jorginho has said that the midfielder is committed to the Blues
on a long-term basis. The Italy international joined the west London outfit
from Napoli during the summer of 2018 and he has since been a regular in the
centre of the park where he has taken up the holding midfield role.
Speaking
to Radio Kiss Kiss, agent Joao Santos said that the Italian has no plans of
parting ways with the Blues in the near future. He added that the 27-year-old
will remain committed to the club for another four years at the least, he told:
“We have mid-to-long-term project with Chelsea, similar to when he joined
Hellas Verona and then Napoli. There are five years left on his contract and
let’s say he’d like to stay for at least another four years.”
Jorginho
had a mixed first season with the Blues and he was criticised by the fans
whenever the club succumbed to a defeat under former boss Maurizio Sarri.
Nonetheless, he ended the campaign on a high with a string of consistent
performances and he has slowly become a favourite for a section of the
supporters under new head coach Frank Lampard.
The west London giants have not made the best of beginnings to the season and they are presently with just five points from the opening four matches. Still, there have been plenty of positives in the attacking department and Lampard needs to find the solution at the back such that the team can notch up regular victories.
Chelsea return from the international break with a testing challenge at Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Blues could only secure one point against the Wolves last season and they can anticipate another tricky game, considering the west Midlands outfit fare better in front of their fans. Nuno’s side are currently two points behind Chelsea at the present point of time.
