Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has issued a stern warning to Premier League clubs, advising them against signing France World Cup winner Paul Pogba. Pogba, who recently became a free agent after his contract with Juventus was terminated, has been linked with Arsenal and other Premier League clubs.
Souness, speaking on the Three Up Front podcast, expressed his reservations about Pogba’s work ethic and commitment to the sport. He described Pogba as an “extremely talented” player, but also a “wasted talent” ¹. Souness cited Pogba’s limited playing time, having only participated in 39 games since the 2021/22 season, as evidence of his lack of dedication.
Souness also suggested that Pogba’s success in the World Cup may have contributed to his complacency, stating that “the worst thing that happened to him was winning the World Cup because, from that point on, he just sat in his armchair” ¹. This criticism echoes Souness’s previous comments about Pogba being a “lazy player”.
Souness’s warning to Premier League clubs serves as a cautionary tale about the potential risks of signing a player with a questionable work ethic. As Pogba explores his options, it remains to be seen whether any Premier League clubs will heed Souness’s warning or take a chance on the talented but troubled midfielder.
