Kylian Mbappe wants Frenkie de Jong to join Paris Saint-Germain

Kylian Mbappe has urged Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong to join him at Paris Saint-Germain.

De Jong is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in European football, and a number of clubs - including Manchester City and Barcelona - have been credited with an interest.

Ajax have reportedly placed a £75m value on the in-demand midfielder, and it was claimed last month that PSG are prepared to meet that price.

Mbappe has now had his say on the situation, and the attacker is keen for De Jong to join him in the French capital.

"His vision of the game and quality of passes breaking the lines makes him very valuable. He's welcome at Paris! I put in a good word, because he'd help us a lot," Mbappe told France Football.

De Jong, who moved to Ajax from Willem II in 2015, has scored twice in 22 appearances for his Dutch club this season.
