Ruben Loftus-Cheek has heaped praise on Chelsea teammate Jorginho, saying he's 'a massive player' for Chelsea.
The midfielder has been instrumental for Maurizio Sarri's side this term, helping them to a place in the Premier League's top four and a spot in the Europa League final.
Jorginho has received a somewhat mixed reception since moving to Loftus Road, but speaking to ESPN Loftus-Cheek insisted that most can't see how good he actually is.
He said: "I've not had the experience of going to a different league and playing, but I imagine it's really hard.
"Learning a new language, it's probably an uncomfortable feeling, but credit to him.
"Most fans don't see how good Jorjo is because he's not eye-catching.

"He does the simple thing but it's so effective. For us as a team, he helps bring play together and everything goes through him. When we play well, Jorjo plays well. He's a massive player for our team.
"As an advanced midfielder, if he's getting on the ball a lot it gives me the opportunity to get the ball, and it gives me space because he sucks players in. He's massive for us, but also defensively he cleans up and he's very tactically aware. He's someone I've looked at to improve."
