Rising empires all over Europe also means it’s difficult for many clubs to compete financially, but the history of some of the big clubs is sure to be a greater pull than the size of any potential pay packet.

Some may be in their prime while others are still establishing their qualities in European football, but all of the following players would be big hits in England.
