Given that he's one of the most gifted attacking players in the world today and has achieved so much in the game despite only being 25, you'd trust Neymar's judgement on strikers.

The Brazilian recently took part in an interview with Esporte Interativo and offered his thoughts on who he believes are the best forwards currently.

When asked about the strikers that he appreciates, the Barcelona superstar picked out Atletico's Antoine Griezmann, Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus and Juventus' Paulo Dybala.

Neymar has come up against Griezmann a number of times in La Liga, while he has seen Jesus up and close personal when playing for the Brazilian national team - the two regularly creating magic for the Seleção.

As for Dybala, Neymar saw what he was all about last week when the Argentine netted a double in Juventus' 3-0 first leg win over Barcelona.

Here's what he had to say about the trio:

"Of the new generation, I like (Antoine) Griezmann very much, but I have a great affection for Gabriel Jesus.

"I love him for how he plays and because we play together in the Selecao and we did at the Rio Olympic Games. He has entered the main Selecao very well, he is a boy with a lot of potential.

"I will also say Dybala, the famous Argentinian left-footer. If you leave him alone, he can hurt you. On Wednesday, we [Barcelona] will not be able to leave him any space."

Three very good picks there.

Fair play, Neymar.
