Predictions
Chelsea’s midfielder Jorginho is in the lead as he won three trophies with Chelsea and his national team. Furthermore, he scored 7 goals for Chelsea and helped them to clinch the Champions League title. Also, he scored some decisive penalties for Italy and won the Euro 2020. Later, at the start of the season, Chelsea won the Super Cup, making him one of the strong contenders.
On the other hand, Kante was more impressive than Jorginho in the UCL. However, France’s exit in RO16 of Euro 2020 gives him a disadvantage. So, Jorginho has more chances to win the award as he has the advantage of winning the Euro 2020.
