Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is delighted with how Jorginho has won over the Blues support.

As Chelsea look for their seventh win of the season against Watford, Lampard spoke about Jorginho's development to Sky Sports.

"I've got to say, I watched him in a lot of the games in the run-in last year," he said.

I know he had a bit of a tough time - but I was really struck by his bravery on the ball. He always wanted it.

I was excited to work with him, and from day one in pre-season, we had a possession game, it was clear his ability on the ball.

"What's become even clearer since then, his attitude and what he does with the group, he's driven.

That's why I've made him vice-captain. He's one of those infectious players, he cajoles players on the pitch, before the game.

I've loved to see the fans' reaction to him.

"One thing a fan will always do - and I'm a fan - is that when you see someone giving everything, passion, drive, they will always react to that.

You've seen that with Jorginho."
