Sarri and Jorginho will be absolutely fantastic additions for Chelsea, with it finally looking as if the Blues are starting to get themselves on the ball in terms of transfers this summer.
Jorginho has been labelled as one of Napoli’s most important players last season, as his side were pipped to the Serie A title by rivals Juventus despite them managing to amass a huge 91 points.
Sarri has been a huge influence since he arrived in Naples, with the Italian turning the club into one of the most entertaining to watch in Europe, with his brand of free-flowing, attacking football exciting fans all across the continent.
This is big for Chelsea, and is definitely something that Blues fans will love to see the sight of. Fair play, Mr Abramovich.
