  • A football fan in the United States was left disappointed after Chelsea midfielder Jorginho signed jerseys meant for his teammate Christian Pulisic
  • The fan, Justine, had hoped to get Pulisic to sign his USA jersey and Pulisic's former club Borussia Dortmund jersey
  • He was at pains to explain why Jorginho chose to sign the jerseys that were clearly not meant for him

A fan in the United States is seething with anger after Chelsea star Jorginho signed jerseys that he wasn't supposed to.

Chelsea are currently in Los Angeles for their preseason training and the players had an opportunity to meet their fans and sign autographs.

Unfortunately for the fan who goes by the name Justin, Pulisic did not sign his jerseys and he ended up getting something else from what he had planned.

As Justin waited for Pulisic just outside the Drake Stadium, Jorginho walked up to him and, without asking, signed the two jerseys. Justin was definitely disappointed.

Yesterday I attempted to get Christian Pulisic to sign his USA & Dortmund kits at Chelsea training, but he didn't. Instead, Jorginho shockingly walked up and immediately signed both without asking. I have no idea why. Nobody else did. My jerseys are now ruined and I'm very disappointed.

His tweet quickly went viral, with many fans asking him to be grateful to have gotten Jorginho's signature. Some even went ahead and told him he got an autograph from a player who had a podium finish at the Ballon d'Or award.

Reece James speaks out on his Chelsea future

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Reece James had opened up for the first time amid transfer reports linking him to a move to Real Madrid.

The England and Chelsea defender has been consistently linked with a potential move to Madrid with further reports suggesting James is admired by top officials of the reigning Spanish and European champions.

Chelsea are readying a bid to fend off interest from Real Madrid and other suitors as the Blues seek to tie down the marauding right-back on a long-term deal.
