Jorginho, Chelsea star, breaks Premier League record for most passes this season
- Jorginho has set a new record for the most passes in a Premier League season
- The Italian midfielder has made 2,332 passes for Chelsea this term without an assist
- Jorginho joined the Blues from Napoli and has scored only one goal in the EPL
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has registered his name in the history books of the Premier League by becoming the first player with the highest number of passes in a single season.
Jorginho has made 2,332 passes from his deep-lying spot on the field for Chelsea, but surprisingly, the Italian football star has not made an assist.
The 27-year-old was signed from Napoli by Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, and he has established himself into the Blues' first team since he came to England.
But despite a fine start to life with Chelsea, Jorginho’s form took a huge dip as he struggled to keep up with the pace of the English game.
