Jorginho explains decision to snub Man City in favour of Chelsea switch

The Italy international had appeared destined to join the reigning Premier League champions before Maurizio Sarri negotiated a reunion in west London

Chelsea midfieder Jorginho says manager Maurizio Sarri's move to Stamford Bridge convinced him to reject Manchester City.

The Italy international had an agreement to join to the Premier League champions, but ultimately linked up with a different set of Blues after seeing Sarri head to west London.

Jorginho and Sarri spent three years together at Napoli and the Brazil-born star says the opportunity to continue to work under the coach was too good an opportunity to turn down.
