Paris Saint-Germain wonderkid Desire Doue is one of the best young players in the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While the French international is already a treble-winner, Manchester City<\/a> would perhaps internally believe that they also have youngsters who are either comparable or better than him.<\/p>\n

Bernardo Silva believes Oscar Bobb is the real deal<\/a> and he could certainly emerge as a player who is pitted against Doue one day, considering he too can play out wide.<\/p>\n

Rayan Cherki<\/a>, who plays with the PSG winger in the French national team can also be compared to the 19-year-old.<\/p>\n

Thierry Henry called Cherki \u201cextraordinary\u201d<\/a>, which goes to show how highly-rated he is in France and alongside Doue, the former Lyon attacker is arguably his nation\u2019s most talented youngster.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola hailed Cherki<\/a> after he scored against Al Ain, admitting that he rates the youngster very highly.<\/p>\n

While playing a game of start, sub, sell, John Arne Riise was asked by GOAL\u2019s Front Three where he would place the aforementioned French pair alongside Lamine Yamal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Riise revealed he would start Yamal, bench \u00a333 million man Cherki<\/a> and sell Doue.<\/p>\n

Rayan Cherki stats compared to Desire Doue this season<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to say that both Cherki and Doue have the potential to become world-class, which is perhaps why John Arne Riise would have found it a challenge to pick the better player between the two.<\/p>\n

Judging by the stats, Cherki has the edge on Doue, amassing 33 goal contributions (13 goals and 20 assists) while his countryman registered 31 (15 goals and 16 assists).<\/p>\n

Considering the former played for an inferior Lyon side in comparison to the former Rennes trickster, who was a key player for the champions of Europe goes to show how impressive the City new-boy has been.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the deciding factor for many could be how influential the pair are for Manchester City and PSG next season.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paris Saint-Germain wonderkid Desire Doue is one of the best young players in the world.
