Footballers from all four corners of the globe have long aspired to come and play in the Premier League.
The reach and appeal of England's top flight is unsurpassed, with television networks in 212 different countries broadcasting its matches to a potential audience of 4.7 billion people.
The Premier League has long had a cosmopolitan feel, something which developed during the 1990s as the competition gained in strength and popularity before hitting warp speed in the 21st century.
It therefore comes as little surprise that 113 of the 207 foreign FIFA-affiliated nations (or 117 of 211 if you include England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) have seen at least one player grace the competition during its near-30 years of existence.
