Their respective approaches this season have differed noticeably, and the tactical contrast could prove telling. Inter want to sign Curtis Jones, but as things stand their valuation falls well short of Liverpool's, especially in a market when other Premier League proven players in his position have moved for such big fees.

The tactical subplot is compelling: Gjilani favour a possession-based game built on patience and control, while Prishtina are happiest sitting deep and exploding forward on the counter — a classic contrast of philosophies.
