Arsene Wenger has compared PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe to Brazilian legend Pele.

Mbappe has established himself as one of the world's best footballers, despite being just 23 years of age.

And former Arsenal boss Wenger also thinks Mbappe is ahead of Erling Haaland, another young star of the game.

"When I first saw him, I said on French television: 'There's Pele in him'," Wenger told BEIN Sports. "Everyone thought I was a bit crazy, nut he's got to this level.

"Technically, he is a little ahead of Haaland. He has his fantasy, not just his speed.

"He has intelligence, good technical quality, good timing in his runs, quick analysis of the game. He is also a free spirit, he is exceptional."
