At the heart of Napoli's Serie A title challenge this season has been tempo-setting metronome Jorginho, a Brazillian-born midfielder who now plays for Italy after moving to Europe as a young child.

Stylistically, the most obvious fit for him in England is Manchester City, whose manager Pep Guardiola lavished praise on Napoli when the two sides met in the Champions League group stage earlier in the campaign.

But the top clubs tend to follow established trends, and seeing City walk the Premier League this season could prompt rivals to adopt the same possession-oriented approach, for which they will obviously require a midfielder who can distribute the ball from deep.

So you can probably add Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs to his list of potential suitors as well; pretty much everyone in the Top Six bar Manchester United, whose own boss would probably rather die than copy his counterpart at the Etihad.
