Premier League Teams Warned About 'Lazy' Pogba

Premier League Teams Warned About 'Lazy' Pogba

Premier League managers have been urged not to sign Paul Pogba, who is now a free agent after his contract with Juventus was terminated.

The French midfielder and Juventus mutually parted ways on Thursday, with the former no longer in the club's plans after his initial doping ban.

The four-year ban was recently reduced and Pogba will be eligible to play from February in 2025.

The World Cup winner has been linked with a few clubs but former Liverpool player Graeme Souness feels English clubs should avoid the player.

"If I was a Premier League manager, there are no circumstances under which I would take a punt on bringing in Paul Pogba. He's only played 39 games since the 2021/22 season," Pogba told the Three Up Front podcast.

"He is extremely talented, but he's a wasted talent. The worst thing that happened to him was winning the World Cup because, from that point on, he just sat in his armchair. When Jose Mourinho was at Manchester United, he called Pogba a virus.

"He's a lazy player, but midfield is a position that you have to take personally. It's the only position on the pitch where you're directly up against someone who's trying to do the same job as you. 

"I always wanted to have a better day than whoever I was up against, and the only thing I was taught to do was work harder than my opponent."
