Jorginho helping Chelsea team-mates adapt to Maurizio Sarri's playing style, says Marcos Alonso

Chelsea's newest recruit Jorginho is using his experience of playing under manager Maurizio Sarri to help others at the club adapt, according to defender Marcos Alonso

Jorginho played under the Italian for three seasons at Napoli and joined Chelsea shortly after Sarri's appointment earlier this month.

"He is used to playing this way, and he is going to be a great help for everybody. He is giving us tips to get used to this way of playing," Alonso told the club's website.

"We are working on a new formation, a new style that he is asking of us. He wants us to press high, he wants the team to be together, to have possession of the ball. "

Jorginho made his first appearance in a Chelsea shirt in Monday's 1-0 friendly win over Perth Glory.

The 26-year-old impressed during a 45-minute cameo, making 98 passess and 101 passes as part of a midfield including Cesc Fabregas and Ross Barkley.
