Jorginho ‘really happy’ at Chelsea FC as he dismisses transfer talk

Jorginho is "really happy" at Chelsea amid ongoing speculation over his future.

The midfielder has long been linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge, with a return to Italy - with former club Napoli and previously Juventus thought most likely.

But Jorginho - who was recently named the Premier League's best player in a survey - is a regular under Thomas Tuchel, having enjoyed similiar trust from Frank Lampard, and is not thinking about an exit.

“Dude, I’ll tell you the truth," he told TNT Sports.

"At the moment, how am I going to think about the future two years from now, when I still have to play this season? Then the Euros are coming. So, honestly, there’s no way to think ahead.

"In fact, I’m very happy here. I’m really happy here. So I don’t think about anything else either. Now, at the moment, there’s no reason to think about what will happen in two years, for example."

When pressed on Napoli links, Jorginho replied with a laugh: “You like these things, huh? I’m gonna tell you, you like these things. It will always exist. There will always be all of that. But there’s no way I can think of anything else right now.”
