'Top Clubs In The Premier League Won't Sign Pogba'

'Top Clubs In The Premier League Won't Sign Pogba'

It has been claimed that no top team in the Premier League will make a move for World Cup winner Pogba, who is a free agent.

The French midfielder had initial doping reduced from four years to 18 months after an appeal, which means he will be able to start playing competitive football from February.

Pogba has since had his contract with Juventus mutually terminated and is now free to join any team of choice, but former Aston Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie feels teams in England won't make the move.

"There's no doubt that Paul Pogba's always had a talent, hasn't he? I think the flip side of that is what comes with that talent," Hendrie told 10bet. 

"It's the off-the-field situations that he finds himself in. He is a very outspoken person with the way he goes about his business. When he was at United, I felt that they had to get him out of the club. 

"I felt that there was a really bad smell when he was there because of the way he was - the vibes around the dressing room and the football club were not good. I can't see any of the top clubs going near him to be honest.

"I think someone will take a punt on him, but I don't think any of the top clubs in the Premier League would take him because, regardless of the talent that he has, there is too much baggage that comes with him. 

"So many clubs look at a player's personality and how they will fit into the environment of a club before signing them. They don't want to risk bringing in a disruptive personality."
