Jorginho has been backed to win this year's Ballon d'Or award over Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski by former Chelsea and Italy forward Gianfranco Zola.
The midfielder has enjoyed incredible success over the last 12 months, following up his Champions League triumph with Chelsea by winning the European Championship with Italy this summer.
Jorginho was a key component of the Chelsea side that defeated Manchester City to lift the Champions League and was one of the standout performers at Euro 2020 as Italy marched on to beat England in the final.
