Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has warned his stars against following the money trail to England.

Chelsea are chasing Ezequiel Lavezzi, while Napoli defender Fabiano Santacroce is wanted by Everton.

Movie mogul De Laurentiis said: "We made these players - two years ago nobody knew who they were.

"If they want to go to England then in the end they're going to go, but they need to understand this: the English live badly, eat badly and their women do not wash their genitalia. To them, a bidet is a mystery."
