He's highly rated and has already put Germany to the sword, but is Hirving Lozano good enough to star in the Premier League? His Mexico coach certainly thinks so.

"I think Hirving, since he moved to PSV Eindhoven, has made the next step up. He's an unbelievable prospect," Juan Carlos Osorio told Sky Sports.

"I just think that whoever takes a chance on him will do well. His pace and his ability to take people on, he can play in any league and any place.

"I think he will be able to - and he has the tools to play - in the Premier League."

Lozano has been linked with numerous clubs around Europe's big leagues after impressing in his debut season in the Dutch Eredivisie. He scored 19 goals in 34 games for PSV.

His performances have made him an attractive target for many of Europe's bigger clubs, and by scoring the shock winner against the defending world champions on Sunday, the former Pachuca man has catapulted himself further into the limelight.
