Former England star Gary Lineker believes that the latest influx of world-class managers will help the Premier League attract top quality footballers.

Pep Guardiola (Manchester City), Antonio Conte (Chelsea) and Jose Mourinho (Manchester United) will join the likes of Arsene Wenger (Arsenal), Mauricio Pochettino (Tottenham) and Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool) in the Premier League next season and Lineker believes it only bodes well for the English game.

"We've got massive new managers coming into the [English] game now," he told the Daily Mirror on behalf of BT Sport.

"Guardiola to [Manchester] City. Conte at Chelsea. Klopp is now at Liverpool, Pochettino and Tottenham are growing and Arsenal still have Wenger.

"We are the wealthiest league in the world, so it is only a matter of time before some of the really big stars in world football come to our league.

"The big managers now are coming here, therefore the big players will follow."
