Azpilicueta claims Jorginho is revelling in new Chelsea role under Lampard

Jorginho is beginning to realise his full potential at Chelsea under the stewardship of Frank Lampard, according to Cesar Azpilicueta.

The Brazil-born midfielder followed Maurizio Sarri to England shortly after he took the managerial reigns at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2018, completing a £57 million ($70m) move from Napoli.

The 27-year-old arrived in the Premier League boasting a sterling reputation as a technical master with the ability to unlock defences with his passing range, but he failed to live up to expectations during the 2018-19 campaign.

Sarri left Chelsea to replace Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus earlier this summer, with Lampard drafted in to inherit a squad that finished third in the Premier League last term.
