“They’re doing incredible things, and honestly, I didn’t know the guy on the wing [Kvaratskhelia],” Jorginho told DAZN.
“I observed Osimhen. I had played against him in the Champions League, and he had made our defenders work hard.
“Giuntoli called me before signing him, and I told him to sign him right away because he is very promising and doing really well. Everything is going well for them [Osimhen and Kvara]. There is a winning spirit.”
