Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery insists that the speculation surrounding Neymar should not distract from the Brazilian's performances on the pitch.

The 25-year-old has scored 11 goals in 12 appearances since his world record move from Barcelona, but his time in France has been plagued by speculation that he does not get on with Emery and, more recently, that he could make a move to Real Madrid .

Neymar was brought to tears at a press conference last week when Brazil boss Tite launched a staunch defence of his superstar striker after speculation over his relationship with Emery was once again brought up.
