'I want to play with Neymar' - Vinicius states admiration for fellow Brazilian

Vinicius Junior says he wants to play alongside Neymar, adding that the Paris Saint-Germain star is the player that inspires him most.

The 18-year-old winger, who has yet to earn a senior appearance for Brazil, joined Real Madrid this season and has made 10 league appearances for the club this campaign.

He's begun to find a rhythm with the reigning Champions League winners, showing some of the potential that prompted Madrid to sign him from Flamengo this summer.
