Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho hopes to outshine his fellow Brazilians in the Premier League.
Tottenham signed Paulinho and Chelsea brought in Fernandinho's former Shakhtar teammate Willian. All three are competing for a place in Brazil's midfield with the World Cup set to kick off in their homeland in seven months' time.
"Willian I obviously know very well," he told the Daily Mail. "We are friends and speak often. But I've never met Paulinho.
"Each one of us has to defend their team and win the title first and foremost. When it comes to the World Cup all of us want to be involved so we will all do what it takes. But the decision isn't ours. All we can do is show what we can do on the pitch."
