The midfielder himself has claimed his love for Serie A, however the financial lure of the premier league could sway the Brazilin to the shores of England.
Hernanes told Gazzetta dello Sport: “I’m a player who loves to think on the pitch.”
“I understood that in every player there’s the time to evaluate and do the best things. My best qualities are probably dribbling with the ball and my hard shot.
“The comparison with Pirlo is very good, it definitely pleases me.
