Mooy was signed by the Premier League giants in June last year and he was immediately loaned to Championship side Huddersfield Town where he played 45 games and scored four goals.

He also helped the Terriers to a famous promotion to the Premier League nailing a penalty in the 4-3 shootout win against Reading and winning the club's Player of the Season gong.

Mooy dominated the A-League in the 2015/16 season with Melbourne City, scoring 11 goals in 26 appearances with a record 20 assists.

Brazil are currently in Melbourne to face Argentina and the Socceroos at the MCG and Fernandinho said he wanted the Aussie on his club team.

“He’s a really good player, he’s shown his quality to us,” Fernandinho said.

“We had a game against Huddersfield (in the FA Cup fifth round) but because he was our player, he didn’t play.

“Without any doubt he has a really good future. He’s really physical and has many good qualities.

"If he can play with us it will be better, he will be really welcome.”

The Socceroos are set to play Saudi Arabia in Adelaide on Thursday night in a crucial World Cup qualifier.
