Meunier was absolutely superb for Belgium at the this summer’s World Cup, with the player proving to be a key part in his side’s run to the semi finals, where they eventually were knocked out by France.

The PSG ace, along with Spurs’ Kieran Trippier, was probably the best right back at the tournament, and was often featured in a lot of fans’ team of the tournament.

The Belgian has been made to sit on the sidelines for a fair few matches at PSG since the arrival of Dani Alves last summer.

However following his displays in Russia, combined with Dani Alves’ age, could see the player claim a starting role for the French giants this season coming, that if Barcelona don’t sign him first!
