Chelsea's 'Most Valuable Player' under Frank Lampard in the 2019/20 season revealed

Jorginho has been named as Chelsea's Most Valuable Player in the 2019/20 season so far.

The Italy international has been an important member of Frank Lampard's side over the course of the campaign, with 14 starts and another off the bench in 17 Premier League games.

Lampard even named the midfielder as his vice captain, and according to the CIES Football Observatory has become the key player in Chelsea's team so far.

The CIES Football Observatory state they have: "Developed a property  algorithm to assess the performance of footballers from the exclusive data produced by the leading sports company OptaPro.

Chelsea 'not taking enough chances' says Frank Lampard

"Issue number 278 of the Weekly Post presents the MVP per big-5 league club, as well as the top values for each of the six areas of the game analysed. Only players fielded for at least nine (MVPs) and respectively six (per domain) full domestic league matches are included.

"The MVPs are footballers whose performance had the biggest influence in their teams’ results."

Chelsea are going through something of a rough patch when it comes to their current form.

With four Premier League defeats in five matches, the Blues are looking to hold their place in the top four.

Christian Pulisic is top of the list of chances created, with Mateo Kovacic as the top of distribution.

It's not a massive surprise that N'Golo Kante is top of the recovery list, with 'rigour' going to Fikayo Tomori.

Top of the shooting charts is top scorer Tammy Abraham, while Willian leads the way on take ons.

But as the most valuable player so far for the 2019/20 campaign, Jorginho tops the charts for Chelsea
