Premier League: After Tadic and Haller, who else has succeeded after leaving England?

Dusan Tadic very rarely gets mentioned in the same breath as Lionel Messi but the Ajax star surpassed one of the Argentine's many records in the game at the weekend.

But the Serbia international has got 37 assists this year, surpassing Messi's record of 36 assists in 2011 when he was playing for Barcelona.

It represents the pinnacle of an extraordinary calendar year for the former Southampton man, who huffed and puffed during his time in the Premier League but was named Eredivisie Player of the Year earlier in 2021.
