The FIFA tournament has made a big thing of players taking it in turns to be introduced to the crowd before walking out onto the pitch amid big fanfare pre-match.

It has been one of the most eye-catching aspects of the new tournament in the United States and has attracted a lot of mickey-taking, while some players have looked uncomfortable.

But Lavia likes it and believes the Premier League could learn a few lessons from the tournament.

The midfielder said: “It's something special and new for us. I enjoyed it. Why not bring it to the Premier League?
