“I just have to stay focused” – Chelsea star responds to the uncertainty surrounding his future

Jorginho dismisses speculation regarding his Chelsea future

Speaking to the club’s official site, Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has brushed aside speculation regarding his future at the club.

The 28-year-old has played just 10 minutes since the restart and has found himself fall down the pecking order.

This has led to speculation that his days at the Bridge are numbered. With Juventus remaining keen on the player, Chelsea could be willing to sell him in the summer.

“There have been rumors but I haven’t heard anything, I am just focusing on finishing the season well with Chelsea and qualifying for the Champions League.”

Jorginho also came in for praise from manager Frank Lampard. He also showcased his faith in the Italian international’s abilities.

“We saw the impact Jorginho had in calming the team down and making passes. I know he can give us that and he will continue to give us that.”
