Neymar strikes up with Kendall Jenner

When you’re as fashionable on the pitch as Barcelona’s Neymar is it’s equally important to surround yourself with those who are setting trends off it.

The Brazilian star seems to be pretty well-versed in the fashion icon stakes as he poses next to model Kendall Jenner.

Followers of Neymar’s Instagram were drawn to his account on Friday when he posted a picture of him and Jenner side by side with a caption which read: ‘Nice to meet you too @kendalljenner.’

Jenner had been in Barcelona to launch Mango’s new Spring 2016 campaign, which obviously Neymar did not want to miss.

Still fresh from his appearance at FIFA’s Ballon d’Or ceremony in Zurich in mid-January, Neymar chose once again to wear a bowler hat and bow tie.

Indeed, as a fellow model, it's highly likely he asked more about fashion than Jenner did about football.
