Brazilian football legend Pele has said that Neymar's move to Barcelona will provide the youngster with good experience that will improve him as a player for next year's World Cup in Brazil.

It was revealed on Saturday night that the 21-year-old had chosen to join La Liga champions Barca in a five-year deal from Santos.

This evening Pele tweeted his best wishes before adding: "I am confident that @FCBarcelona will provide great challenges and experiences which @Njr92 will bring with him to Brazil in the World Cup."
