The fear for English players has always been that you might risk a place in the national team if you go abroad but now with all the technology we have, and social media, you are able to watch goals and assists every week, which means his performances are just as noticeable as anyone's in the Premier League.

On the pitch if I could summarise 2018 in one word it would be progress.

Many managers bring players they have previously worked with into a new club - but that doesn't always mean they will continue to enjoy success together.

Perhaps I am influenced by philosophies like the one at Chelsea which was 'If it isn't broken, change it' which saw us win three league titles in five years playing three different formations and tactical strategies so that the opposition could never keep up with our evolution at the time.

Maurizio Sarri is one of those managers who can get the best out of players who aren't necessarily world class which he proved at Napoli.

It is dangerous to sit on your laurels, but a lot of the time you only have to add one or two people to the fringes of a winning team to improve it.
