Marquinhos wants Mbappe to join PSG

Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos has welcomed the prospect of signing rising Monaco star Kylian Mbappe.

The 18-year-old scored twice and won a penalty as Monaco swept past Caen with a 3-0 win that keeps them three points clear of the champions at the top of Ligue 1.

Mbappe - who has managed 19 goals and 11 assists in all competitions in a scintillating season - has reportedly attracted the attention of a number of top clubs across the continent, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Asked if he would be happy to see Mbappe move to the capital, he replied: "Why not? He's very good at Monaco. I hope our management are watching him. 

"He's a player who makes the difference and who has qualities. We'll see.

"He's a player who is playing very well. At his age, it's not easy to play consecutive matches in Ligue 1 and to be so strong.

"He's got into the France team, he plays games, scores goals and he will be a very important player for France and for Monaco.

"He has a great future; I hope he continues working hard and doesn't stop there. He still has a lot to learn."
