Chelsea's Makes final decision over costly contract Renewal as refreshed Jorginho is handed two options by the Chelsea Management.

With just six months remaining on his Chelsea contract, Jorginho has been handed the perfect opportunity to strengthen his hand in negotiations with co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali Jorginho continues to divide the Chelsea fanbase like very few other players. Even on Christmas Day – with all its excesses and distractions – debate kickstarted on social media among supporters as to whether the Italian international offered enough of a creative presence in the Blues midfield.

It was inadvertently sparked by Jorginho himself, who in an interview with Chelsea's website released yesterday, reflected on the criticism of his game. "Many people just look at the goals and they don’t look at the opportunities that someone else missed, which is obviously part of the game," he said. "I’ve heard some stupid things about my first year here like '2000 passes and not one assist'.

"That statistic is the reality, unfortunately, but then please also go on YouTube and look at the missed chances, it’s not just about numbers. It doesn’t bother me but it’s crazy that people just look at the numbers like that instead of knowing more about what’s happening properly.
