PSG chief hails Kaka

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo believes Real Madrid midfielder Kaka is still one of the best players in the world game.

The former AC Milan star has endured a difficult time at the Santiago Bernabeu, with injuries hindering his form in La Liga and with the Brazil national side. Kaka has been strongly linked with a move to PSG this summer and Leonardo believes the playmaker still has what it takes to compete at the highest level. He told O Estado de Sao Paulo: ''Kaka is surely a great player, with enormous potential. But he has suffered severe injuries, which damaged him. He is at a very competitive club, in which everything happens very fast. But he has not lost the hunger for the game."
