The Argentine captain believes Juventus midfielder, Paulo Dybala, is going to be name on everybody's lips in a few years.

Dybala, who was dubbed the new Lionel Messi, joined the Serie A champions at the start of the 2015/2016 campaign, after impressing for Palermo last season.

Now the four-time Ballon d'Or winner,who is currently injured, has given his stamp of approval of the 21-year-old.

"Paulo is a great player and he has a bright future ahead of him," Messi told Tuttosport

"I have no doubt about it that people will talk about him a lot over the next few years."

Dybala's performances in the Serie A have not gone unnoticed this season, after he was called up to the Argentine senior squad for the World Cup qualifiers.

The 21-year-old missed out against Ecuador but could make his senior debut against Paraguay in the week.
