Jorginho, an Arsenal midfielder, believes Kevin de Bruyne is the finest midfielder in the Premier League right now.
‘Incredibly tough’ – Chelsea stars should expect Mauricio Pochettino to fix Frank Lampard issue
He said in a Q&A session on the ‘The Residency’ app that the Belgian, who was sold by Chelsea over a decade ago, is the most skilled player in his position right now.
Jorginho is another player in the position who has just departed Stamford Bridge, moving directly from Chelsea to Arsenal.
The Italy international was largely expected not to sign a new contract with the club that he won the Champions League in 2021.
The Blues will have been pleased with the money they received for the midfielder, as they turned their attention to the club-record acquisition of Enzo Fernandez on deadline day.
In their dreadful season so far this year, one player they would have loved to have at their disposal is Kevin de Bruyne, who currently leads the league in assists.
Jorginho considers De Bruyne to be the finest player in the league.
Although those figures are undoubtedly inflated by Erling Haaland’s brilliance, the fact that he has previously won the prize demonstrates that he can do so with anyone around him.
What should irritate Chelsea fans is that he was already a member of the Blues squad, despite failing to make it through as a regular first-teamer.
This was a fate shared by Mohamed Salah and Romelu Lukaku at the time, both of whom moved on to greater and better things.
Jorginho has now redoubled his accolades, proclaiming himself the best midfielder in the Premier League.

Chelsea will be hoping that Fernandez can continue his ascent to the top and be recognized at these levels shortly.
