AS Monaco vice-captain Eric Dier has warned that there is never a good time to face Paris Saint-Germain ahead of their trip to the Parc des Princes. The defender praised head coach Filipe Luis while embracing his growing leadership responsibilities within Monaco's squad.

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly rushing to agree a lucrative new contract with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ahead of next month's Ballon d'Or ceremony. Club officials fear that if the Georgian winger wins the prestigious award, his agent's wage demands will become significantly more complicated to navigate.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Joao Neves surprised onlookers after arriving at the club's training ground behind the wheel of a modest cargo van. While the unusual mode of transport initially sparked light-hearted jokes online, reports have confirmed that the Portuguese international was carrying hundreds of items destined for local charitable causes.
