Neymar has reportedly hired UFC fighter Nordine Taleb as his personal bodyguard, a fortnight on from joining Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record deal.
The 25-year-old completed a mammoth £200m switch from Barcelona after the buyout clause in his contract was met, marking his first start for the Parisians with a goal and an assist against Guingamp last weekend.
According to The Sun, Neymar has added to his entourage by hiring French powerhouse Taleb, whose last fight saw him overcome Oliver Enkamp three months ago on a unanimous points decision.
It is claimed that the Brazil international made the appointment in an attempt to stay out of trouble during his time in Paris, having so far maintained a low profile away from the field since making the big-money move.
Neymar is in line to make his Parc des Princes bow on Sunday evening when PSG welcome Toulouse in Ligue 1.
