Tottenham reportedly want ‘aggressive’ ace Pochettino branded a ‘complete player’

Tottenham have been reporꦿtedly offered the chance to sign PSG midfielder Gini Wijnaldum on loan, along with six over Premier League clubs – a player that Mauricio Pochettino recently branded the “complete player”.

Wijnaldu🧸m, 31, decided not to sign a new contract at Liverpool in the summer – after 237 appearances for the Reds. He won the Premier League title, and then the Champions League trophy under 🍬Jurgen Klopp.

But the grass is not always greener. At PSG, the 85-time Netherlands ace has only started 10 games since his move to the Ligue 1 giants. Under Pochettino, he is a rotatio🧜n player, even an unused sub on two occasions.

that Tottenham are one of seven Premier League clubs interested in sign♓ing Wijnaldum, having been offered the ex-Liverpool man on loan. Arsenal, Villa, Everton, West Ham, Newcastꦜle and Leicester, too.

Pochettino said, in July: His experience and quality make him a player who can help going forward and defensively. He can win the ball back and be aggressiveཧ, so I think he is a complete ꩲplayer.”

Pochettino on Wijnaldum: Dutch star massively improves Tottenham

Tottenham massively need a box-to-box midfielder. Harry Winks♉ provides cover for both Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp in the middle of the park – but none are particularly effective going forward.

🥀Hojbjerg has got the odd goal, but Winks and Skipp offer very little going forward. W💫ijnaldum would change that – offering work rate and defensive know how, he would also give Spurs another attacking dimenson.

A no-brainer, if possible.
