Neymar has hinted at a future move to the Premier League as he explained his admiration for the English top flight.

The Brazilian, who currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain, was in discussion with Manchester City left-back Benjamin Mendy on his YouTube channel when he was asked whether he would one day play in the Premier League.

“It is a big competition, one of the greatest in the world,” Neymar said. “We don’t know what will happen tomorrow but I believe that every great player, at least one day, has to play in the Premier League.”

He added: “If you’re playing there, I hope you can keep enjoying the Premier League, because you deserve only the best.”

Neymar was also asked a question by David Beckham. “When you finish playing in Europe, will you come to Miami please?” Beckham said.

“David, it’s done. I’ll come to Miami, your city, your team,” Neymar replied.
