Since becoming the world's most expensive football player there's seemingly nothing Neymar Jr. can't do.

Perhaps worried that his new found wealth may attract the wrong kind of attention, the Brazilian forward has hired French UFC welterweight Nordine Taleb as his personal bodyguard.

The 36-year-old MMA veteran stands at 6ft 1, and is 2-2 in his last four fights after managing to bounce back from a loss against Santiago Ponzinibbio that placed him back in the middle of the pack.

However, as the Frenchman approaches the end of his fighting days a career switch up is a smart move, and helping Neymar settle comfortably into life at Paris Saint-Germain can't be all bad.
