NICOLAS ANELKA believes Paul Pogba is worthy of his astronomical £73m price-tag.

The former Arsenal man commented on his talented French compatriot, tipping him to cement a place in the 'top five players in the world.'

Pogba, 22, cost Juventus nothing when he quit Manchester United in 2012 and has since become one of the world’s most sought-after midfielders with Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona all ready to break the bank to sign him.
