Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar will complete his transfer to Al Hilal this week and sources have confirmed he has already picked out his new shirt number.

The Brazil superstar will bring to an end his six-year stay in the French capital after agreeing terms on a two-year contract with the Saudi Pro League side.

During his time with PSG, he averaged just 19 Ligue 1 matches per season and was continually criticised for his injury record and lifestyle away from the pitch.

Neymar will wrap up a move to Saudi Arabia this week with Al Hilal set to pay £77.6m to PSG, and its understood the 31-year-old has been given the freedom to pick a new shirt number.

Instead of taking on a new digit, Neymar will stick with his tried and tested number 10, which is currently free and will not need to be vacated.
