'If anyone's worth £200m it's him' - England boss Southgate ready for Neymar test

If anyone in world football is worth £200 million then it is Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil superstar Neymar.

That is the opinion of England boss Gareth Southgate, whose Three Lions side must find a way to nullify the threat of the flamboyant forward in Tuesday's friendly at Wembley.

Neymar 3/1 FGS v England

Brazil swashbuckled their way to World Cup qualification in Russia next year, finishing top of the CONMEBOL section with 41 points – 10 clear of nearest rivals Uruguay.

Neymar was typically influential for Tite's men, scoring six and assisting eight in qualifying, and Southgate is keen for England to test themselves against a player that PSG forked out a world-record sum for to sign from Barca.
