Jorginho only arrived at Chelsea in the summer, and the new recruit is already making his mark on the Premier League.
The new recruit tops the individual passing charts so far in the Premier League this season, racking up an impressive 1,186 after 12 games.
That total is over a 100 more than the next best - Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte - and it shows Jorginho's importance to Maurizio Sarri's side since arriving from Napoli.
