Jorginho fuels talk of Napoli transfer return as Chelsea star admits he ‘misses’ Naples and moans about ‘cold’ London
CHELSEA STAR Jorginho has raised doubts about his future at Stamford Bridge by admitting he ‘misses’ Naples.
The 29-year-old, who was signed from Napoli in 2018, has also complained about the ‘cold’ London weather.

Speaking to Italian TV network Canale 21, Jorginho said: “There are no words to describe how much I miss Naples.
“‘Who wouldn’t miss Naples? It’s so cold in London, they don’t even know what the sun is.”
The midfielder’s future has been in doubt since Maurizio Sarri, the manager that signed him for Chelsea, left the club in 2019.
But he has continued to feature under Sarri’s successors, Frank Lampard and current boss Thomas Tuchel.
Jorginho recently praised Tuchel’s tactics in an interview with Chelsea’s website.
He could, though, be tempted with a return to Napoli if Sarri is reappointed manager – and that is believed to be a possibility.

Jorginho is currently out with a knee injury, missing the international break with Italy.
One Chelsea star who won’t be playing for the Italian giants next season is Tiemoue Bakayoko, with Napoli reportedly not interested in signing him permanently.
