Pochettino: PSG striker Mbappe not in class of Neymar and Messi

Former PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino has taken aim at France star Kylian Mbappe.

Pochettino was sacked by PSG at the end of last season.

And the former Tottenham manager has declared Mbappe "immature", stating: "He is an animal and has great charisma, but he still needs to find himself. Leo (Messi) and Neymar are complete players, they are more responsible but in different ways, while Kylian is caring and keeps looking for himself.

"It is difficult for him to distinguish the moments in the game when he has to take a risk and when he shouldn't.

"We will see how this process will be affected by what has happened in recent months, with the failed transfer to Real Madrid."
