Vincent Kompany discusses the recent terrorist attacks in Paris saying that the radicalisation of people in his country of Belgium was "inevitable".

Manchester City and Belgium captain Vincent Kompany has claimed that radicalisation among Belgians was "inevitable" due to the "segregation" among the nation's communities.

The defender gave his thoughts on the terror crisis following the recent attacks in Paris, which left 130 people dead.

Suicide bombers targeted six locations across the French capital, with some of the suspects thought to be linked to the Brussels district of Molenbeek.

Kompany believes that it was a matter of time before Belgians were radicalised due to the neglect from the country's politicians.

In an interview with CNN, Kompany said: "There's a sense of me that really believes that it was predictable, really predictable. I think it was inevitable, because I only used to see politicians in our neighborhoods once every six years when they needed to come for votes.

"Then and now something would pop up out of the ground and somebody cut a red ribbon to say that we've done this for the community, but I have really struggled to see a real concern, a genuine desire to be a part of making those neighbourhoods.

"The problem with Molenbeek is not necessarily about nationality, it's more about the segregation. It's not just Molenbeek."

Kompany grew up in the Uccle district of Brussels.
