Paris Saint-Germain youngster Adrien Rabiot reveals that he enjoys watching Thiago Motta and credits his fellow midfielder with helping to aid his development.

Rising Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot has admitted that he enjoys learning from teammate Thiago Motta.

Rabiot has risen to prominence in recent weeks in games against Real Madrid and Malmo, and the 20-year-old has revealed that much of his development has been influenced by the quality of the experienced players around him.

"I've been playing with these guys for a while now. I like to watch how Thiago Motta plays. I've said in the past, he's a player I admire and I think, in his position, he's the best in the business," Rabiot said in an interview with This Is Paris.

"To play a match like that one, against Real Madrid, alongside Thiago Motta, I think it's easier than playing in any other side.

"I get advice from everyone in the squad, they all have a role to play because, for the most part, they are experienced players and each one has something to teach you. So I think it's easier to keep progressing alongside players like that, and above all, you progress faster."

Rabiot has already played 72 times in Ligue 1 for the Parisian side.
