Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has 'asked about the Premier League'.

The 22-year-old is highly sought-after by a number of clubs has regularly been linked with a move away from Paris, with his contract set to expire next summer.

Liverpool and Real Madrid are believed to be leading the race for the Frenchman, who has scored 37 goals and added 10 assists in his 47 appearances for PSG this season.

Pochettino told reporters: "Kylian loves football, he loves to talk about football, he asks about England – how is the game, the mentality and the culture there?

"He's only 22 but very mature, confident in his talent and open. He can speak French, of course, but also perfect English and Spanish. I speak in English and Spanish with him – more English than Spanish.

"I said to him the other day: 'I need to practise my French with you, to improve,' and he said: 'Sure, but it's better for me to talk in English.' He loves to practise different languages."

The World Cup winner is aiming to be fit for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Manchester City, after suffering a thigh problem on Saturday against Metz.
