Lionel Messi hails Paulo Dybala potential

Barcelona's Lionel Messi predicts that fellow Argentina Paulo Dybala, who joined Juventus from Palermo in the summer, will become one of the top players in the world.

Lionel Messi has claimed that Juventus forward Paulo Dybala will be the future star of the Argentina national team.

The 21-year-old received his first international call-up last month off the back of a strong start to the season with Juve, where he has scored five times this term.

Barcelona's Messi, who is currently on the sidelines with a knee problem, has said that the attacker is certain to become one of the top players in world football in the future.

"Paulo is a great player and he has a bright future ahead of him. I have no doubt that people will talk about him a lot over the next few years," Messi told Tuttosport.

Dybala, who scored 13 times for Palermo last season, is currently with the Argentina squad that are preparing to face Paraguay in their 2018 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
