Frank Lampard Explains How 'Infectious' Jorginho Has Cemented His Place at Chelsea

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard claims he knew Jorginho had the quality to thrive at Stamford Bridge long before his appointment at the club, adding that the Italian's "infectious" attitude has helped to make him an instant hit in west London.

Jorginho didn't have the easiest transition into English football when he following Maurizio Sarri from SSC Napoli to Chelsea last summer, often being criticised for poor performances and inconsistency at the club.

But the Italy international has become a key part of Chelsea's youthful side this season, and Lampard insists that Jorginho's "infectious" attitude has helped him to acclimatise to his new surroundings in the Premier League.
