Kevin de Bruyne is now the finest midfielder in the Premier League, according to Jorginho, an Arsenal midfielder.
He asserted that the Belgian who Chelsea sold over ten years ago is the most gifted player in his position right now during a Question and Answer session on the “The Residency” app.
Another player in this position, Jorginho, recently departed Stamford Bridge for Arsenal in a move that isn’t all that typical.
The international player from Italy didn’t sign a new deal to stay with the team he won the Champions League with in 2021, as was generally predicted.
Since they focused on acquiring Enzo Fernandez for a club record sum on the final day of the transfer window, the Blues will actually have been happy with the fee they received for the midfielder.
Kevin de Bruyne, who comfortably leads the league in assists this season, is one player they would have loved to have at their disposal throughout their disastrous season thus far this year.
Jorginho cites De Bruyne as the league’s top player.
Erling Haaland’s brilliance up front undoubtedly helped those figures, but the fact that he has won the award several times shows that he can succeed no matter who is surrounding him.
Although he didn’t succeed in breaking through as a regular first team player, the fact that he was already a member of the Blues squad should irritate Chelsea supporters.
Mohamed Salah and Romelu Lukaku, who both moved on to greater and better things, had a similar destiny at the time.
By claiming to be the finest midfielder in the Premier League, Jorginho has now added to the constant plaudits he receives.
Fernandez’s ascent to the top and impending recognition at these levels are what Chelsea will be hoping for.
