Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar reveals his admiration for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho ahead of the Champions league tie between their respective teams.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has revealed that he has been left impressed by the development of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.

Having contributed 14 goals and 15 assists in the Bundesliga and Champions League this season, Sancho is being heavily linked with a move to a bigger European club.

The England international is expected to start when Dortmund host PSG in Europe next week, and Neymar has acknowledged that he has enjoyed watching the 19-year-old during the current campaign.

The Brazilian is quoted by Sky Sports News as saying: "Borussia have players that can make the difference. Jadon is a player that I really like to watch play and he is a great player with plenty of quality.

"Borussia Dortmund is a team with plenty of quality players. They have a special player, who is new but who is very good whose name is Sancho.

"He is a good player. We all know how difficult it will be for us here at Dortmund. We are hoping to play a good game to get a good result back to Paris."

Manchester United are said to be the favourites to sign the youngster before the beginning of next season.
