Ezequiel Lavezzi hints at Premier League move

Napoli striker Ezequiel Lavezzi has hinted that he could be open to a move to the Premier League.

The Argentine scored twice for the Italians in Tuesday's 3-1 Champions League win over Chelsea.

"I like La Liga, where there are a lot of strong players, and I particularly admire [Barcelona's Lionel] Messi," the 26-year-old is quoted as saying by Eurosport.

"But the Premier League is beautiful too. These are two interesting championships, where every player wants to play sooner or later.

"It's the beauty of our job that we can discover different cultures and countries. For example, I don't speak English, but one day I'd like to learn it."

Lavezzi has scored five goals in 19 Serie A games this season.
