REVEALED: Jorginho finishes as Chelsea's lowest leading League scorer EVER in a non-relegation season... with midfielder topping charts with seven penalties despite club splashing out £179MILLION on attacking recruits last summer

Despite attacking recruits making up a significant chunk of Chelsea's £220million splurge last summer, it was midfielder Jorginho who finished the 2020-21 season as their top scorer in the Premier League.

The midfielder stuck away seven penalties over the course of the 38-game season, which is the Blues' lowest leading League scorer ever in a season in which the club did not suffer relegation.

The Italian's seven-goal tally is also the joint-lowest figure for the club since the Second World War with Ian Hutchinson in 1974-75, when they finished 21st in the former First Division and were subsequently relegated.
