Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he's a big fan of PSG striker Kylian Mbappe.

Wenger says the first time he saw Mbappe he thought France had found the new Pele.

"The first time I saw Mbappe I thought that we had a Pele in France," said Wenger on the red carpet of the Laureus World Sports Awards on Monday in Monaco.

Wenger further praised the Paris Saint-Germain forward.

He added that "he is already a world class player" despite being just 20 years old.
