Jorginho followed Sarri to Chelsea, despite having long been linked with Manchester City, and the Italy midfielder admits he ‘can’t wait’ to get started at Stamford Bridge.
“I’m absolutely ecstatic to be here, it’s great to be part of such a big club, so I’m happy,” he told Chelsea TV.
“Why the Premier League? It’s the intensity that every team plays with in the Premier League, they do everything to always try to win.
“Preseason? I’m really looking forward to this, I’ve been waiting for it for a long time. And I can’t wait to start working with the manager and my teammates.
“I’d describe myself as a tactically very tidy player. I work very hard for the team. I may not be full of tricks, but I do the work for the rest of the team.
“Players who I know? Who doesn’t know them? Hazard, Willian, Kante and all the others. It’ll be an honour and a pleasure to play with them.
“The idea of coming here was great, but now knowing a manager that knows you very well and helped you grow is here as well was a very important factor for me.
“He’s an expert manager that has helped me a lot on the tactical side of the game, he’s taught me a great deal and has been an asset to my growth and development as a player.
“I’ll definitely do the best in my capabilities to make a mark on the game, not only on the pitch but off it too. I hope I can win some trophies here at Chelsea.”
