Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) transfer target Endrick has praised the club's attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe amid rumors of a big-money move.

Endrick is currently one of the most highly-touted prospects in the Brazilian first division. He scored 106 goals in 109 games for Palmeiras' youth team before making his debut for the senior team.

The 16-year-old has been linked with a move to top European sides like Real Madrid and Chelsea and PSG (via the Evening Standard).

Endrick has impressed in the Copinha tournament so far this season. In 13 games, he has scored nine goals and provided one assist. The youngster has now heaped praise on the trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe. He told So Foot (via Hadrien Grenier):

“Neymar is a player I really like! I like watching PSG, Mbappé is very strong. Messi and Marquinhos are top-class players. I love watching them for inspiration!"

Despite being sought-after by top clubs, Endrick can't make a move to Europe until 2024 when he turns 18.

He added:

"If we are in good form and bring our quality, progress is definitely possible. We're looking forward to both games. It's a 50-50 tie. You can always meet strong opponents in the Champions League. It will be important to be there from the start."
