Your day just got even better.
Just moments after confirming Maurizio Sarri has joined the club, Chelsea have published an article confirming that midfielder Jorginho will come with him from Napoli.
The article on their site speaks in glowing terms about the midfielder, his technique and ability to control the game in midfield.
If you were worried that the Blues wouldn’t give their new manager the tools he needs to succeed you may still prove to be right – but this is the best possible start for him.
The fact that we’ve stolen the Italy international from under the noses of Pep Guardiola and Manchester City just makes it even sweeter. His fee hasn’t been confirmed by the club, but it was largely reported as around £57.4m a few days ago by the Evening Standard.
Now finally we have a manager ready to play the kind of high intensity football that we want, and he has one of the players he needs to do it.
There are no guarantees in life, and especially not in football, but this is enough to get us very excited.
