'All great players are welcome at PSG' - Pochettino responds to Messi rumours

A Champions League crown remains atop the wish-list for the Ligue 1 powerhouse and the Barcelona skipper would go a long way to aiding that cause

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Mauricio Pochettino has left the door open for the arrival of Barcelona icon Lionel Messi.

The French champions appointed the former Tottenham boss following the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel, with the club's hierarchy of the opinion that the German was not the right person to guide the club to domestic and – more importantly – Champions League glory.

Pochettino has a wealth of talent to choose from at his new side, with the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe fronting a fearsome attacking line that also boasts the talents of Angel Di Maria.
