Napoli midfielder Jorginho has hinted he would like to play in a side who play football like Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

The Italian international has been linked with a move to Liverpool, with suggestions the club have identified him as a possible summer target to bolster the midfield.

Although he did not name Liverpool by name, the Serie A star coyly admits the kind of football implemented at Anfield - as well as Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola - would be something he would enjoy.

"I think that I could fit (in the Premier League)," he told reporters. "It depends on who else is around me - I need players with the same characteristics that I have.

"There are English teams with this style of play, ball on the ground, quick transitions, high pressure.

"If one of those teams wanted me, I could fit and the other way round. My football way is not an usual one."

The German coach has instilled those qualities into his Liverpool side since taking charge in October 2015, and his side is renowned for their rapid counter attacks and devotion to pressing, much like Jorginho's current team.

So too, however, are City - and Guardiola has previously praised the 26-year-old, hailing him as 'marvellous' after a Champions League game between the two earlier this year.

Jorginho was flattered by the comments, but insists his focus for now remains on overhauling Juventus and delivering Napoli their first title since 1990.

"It's always nice to receive compliments, but it's spectacular when they come from a manager with that importance and winning past," Jorginho added.

"He's a global icon. All I can do is to be grateful. This is a consequence not just of my work but of all my team-mates in Napoli.

"I'm really keen to make history with Napoli and win the league."

Manchester United and Arsenal have also been linked with a move for the Brazilian-born star.
