Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Paris Saint-Germain forward, Neymar, has described his team mate Kylian Mbappe, as the golden boy of the club.<\/p>\n

Neymar joined PSG in the summer of 2017, but the Brazilian\u2019s future has been the subject of speculation for a long time.<\/p>\n

He was joined by Mbappe, who switched from Ligue 1 rivals Monaco.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, I was very touched by the man he is. Kylian is very considerate, always happy, polite and kind to everyone. He is a very beautiful person. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve got along so well since our first contact.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, of course, I had the opportunity to watch him train, to observe his speed, his dribbling repertoire, his intelligence and to see his humility to keep evolving. There, I said to myself: \u2018he is our golden boy!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeed alone doesn\u2019t mean anything. You have to be smart to use it properly, and Kylian is. He is not only very smart and fast, but he also has a huge repertoire of dribbling,\u201d Neymar told France Football.<\/p>\n

Both players will be hoping to help PSG win the Champions League, after failing at the last hurdle in 2020.<\/p>\n

The Paris club lead Bayern Munich 3-2 from the first leg of their quarter-final clash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
