Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has backed his former boss Unai Emery to achieve great things with Arsenal.

Emery was at the helm at PSG when the club paid a world-record £200m (€222m) to sign Neymar from Barcelona last year.

The former Sevilla boss won Ligue 1 in his first season, but was sacked after failing to deliver success in the Champions League.

Neymar is in the Brazil squad set to face Uruguay at the Emirates on Friday, and he has sung the praises of his former boss.

Arsenal are playing really good football, they are in great form,” said Neymar.

“Everybody knows he is a really great coach. We know about their quality.

“I was really happy to work with him because he is a really hard-working guy, he really wants to coach us, he wants to study about football.

“He will bring good things for Arsenal, which is a really huge club, a really important club in England. I wish him luck.”
