<\/p>\nJorginho was booed at Stamford Bridge on numerous occasions last season, as debate reigned on whether he was favoured by Maurizio Sarri.<\/p>\n
The \u00a357million signing from Napoli was also thought to be hampering N\u2019Golo Kante\u2019s performances, as Sarri pushed him higher up the field.<\/p>\n
