Earlier this week, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez shared his thoughts on why Argentinians thrive in the Premier League.

 The 2022 World Cup winner’s theory is that the natural fighting spirit of those hailing from the South American nation quickly establish themselves as fans’ favourites due to their fierce determination and their formidable will to win.                                                                                                               

                   A trend started by Liam Henderson back in 2018, he swapped Celtic for Bari, and one that continues to this day.

Young full-backs Aaron Hickey and Josh Doig left Edinburgh for Serie A, Lewis Ferguson captained Bologna into the Champions League, and Napoli ended the summer window by spending nearly £30 million combined on Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay.

McTominay brought an emotional end to two decades at his beloved Man United when joining the 2023 Scudetto-winners for a cool £25 million.
