Why are so many British footballers playing in Serie A?

Why are so many British footballers playing in Serie A?

The 1990s felt like a golden age, but there are 21 British players in Serie A this season – more than ever before By The Football Mine What do Jimmy Greaves, Ray Wilkins, David Beckham, Paul Gascoigne and Kyle Walker have in common?
