Chelsea midfielder and UEFA Menโs Player of the Year 2021 Jorginho has tipped Sandro Tonali to succeed him the future.
Jorginho was talking to the press ahead of Italyโs upcoming friendlies during the international break. He was asked a host of things and he was asked to talk about his future successor. The Chelsea star talked about Tonali.
He said: โLet me think โ Tonali. Now everyone plays in a two in midfield, I realise itโs not easy. Todayโs kids grow up playing practically only two in midfield, then itโs normal to struggle when you get older.โ
Tonali recently scored a delightful free-kick from Milan against Cagliari, so perhaps Jorginhoโs praise comes at the right time.
