Kai Havertz has named Jorginho as the smartest player he’s ever worked with.
Speaking on Goal’s TikTok page, the midfielder was asked to build his perfect player based on a number of attributes.
Havertz named the likes of N’Golo Kante as the strongest player he’s ever worked with and Joao Felix as the most skilful player he’s ever worked with, while he said that Jorginho has the highest football IQ of any of his teammates.
Havertz, of course, knows Jorginho well having worked alongside him at both Chelsea and Arsenal, and he seems to think the Italian is a bit of a footballing genius.
Jorginho is the smartest player Kai Havertz has ever worked with
The Arsenal ace spoke about the £13m man.
“Strength?” Havertz was asked.
“N’Golo Kante,: Havertz said.
“Skills?” asked the host.
“Joao Felix,” Havertz said,
“Football IQ?” Havertz was asked.
“Jorginho,” Havertz said.
So clever
We’re certainly not going to disagree with Havertz here.
Jorginho is a footballing genius
He’s very small and not very fast, but somehow, he can still run rings around some of the best players in the world.
Jorginho may not have the pace or power of some of his peers, but he’s always one or two steps ahead of his opponents due to how he reads the game.
The Italian is so clever. He finds it incredibly easy to paint a picture of the game in his mind, and that allows him to make a mockery of some of the world’s best footballers, leaving them chasing shadows.
Jorginho may not be the very best player in this Arsenal squad right now, but against the right type of opponent in certain games, he’s such an effective weapon.
