Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez and Kylian Mbappe fit PSG profile as Unai Emery talks up £195m move for Neymar

Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery has praised Alexis Sanchez and Kylian Mbappe while talking up a possible move for Neymar.

The Ligue 1 outfit are reportedly willing to spend almost £200million to sign the Barcelona star after failing to seal a move last summer, with the player's father due to open negotiations this week.

Emery confirmed PSG's desire to sign a "top five players in the world" before the start of the new season, with the wantaway Arsenal man among those being monitored.

"PSG wants the best players in the world, who are in the best clubs in the world," Emery told L'Equipe.

"If PSG want to rival Bayern [Munich], Real [Madrid] and Barcelona, we need a player in the top five in the world, We are trying to get one signed this summer.

"Since he joined Barcelona, Neymar has progressed a lot. I witnessed this while with Sevilla. Now, he is among the world's top five. The president and the club have been working for the past few years on bringing in the best players.

"The team, but also the fans, would be happy to boast a player in the top five, six or seven in the world on top of the strong players we already have here. The quest is not over. Perhaps he will arrive, perhaps not."

"Sanchez and Mbappe are fantastic players," Emery added. "Moreover, Mbappe is French. I want French players at a French club."
