London, Dec. 17 : Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has taken an unusual approach to dissuading his players from a Premier League move - by saying English women lack hygiene.

"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," the Daily Express quoted De Laurentiis, as saying.
