Mbappe asks about the Premier League and prefers to speak to me in English - Pochettino

Kylian Mbappe often asks Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino about life in the Premier League, the manager has revealed, as he "loves to talk about football" and seeks knowledge about the world beyond France.

Mbappe, 22, has apparently crafted a strong relationship with Pochettino, who previously coached Tottenham before arriving at PSG in January. They speak to one another in three languages - English, Spanish and French - and are friendly with one another off the pitch.

On Wednesday, PSG face Manchester City, a club Mbappe has been linked to in the transfer market, in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
