PSG: Wahbi Khazri pays a heartfelt tribute to Neymar

The Tunisian international Wahbi Khazri was full of praise for Brazilian star Neymar Jr, who once played for Paris Saint-Germain.

Arriving at his "prime" at Paris Saint-Germain after joining from FC Barcelona in the summer of 2017, Neymar Jr naturally established himself among the top three players in Ligue 1. Wahbi Khazri, who played for Bordeaux and Montpellier, did not hide his admiration for the Brazilian attacking midfielder.

"The best player I've ever faced? Neymar. I'm a fan. I played against PSG, and when he was on form, he was capable of humiliating anyone in just a square meter of space because he had this incredible ability to change direction. He was extremely fast and, above all, had extraordinary technical skills," the former striker told L'Equipe.
