5 reasons why Paul Pogba will become the best midfielder in the Premier League

#3 Style of play

Pogba is the type of all-action midfielder that Premier League fans adore

While La Liga and Bundesliga fans appreciate the subtle yet sublime gameplay of the likes of Xavi and Andres Iniesta, Premier League fans have always had a soft spot for the footballing equivalent of a superman – someone who can tackle, pass, press, head, score and be all over the pitch at once. Patrick Viera and Roy Keane dominated a certain era, and passed the mantle on to Gerrard and Scholes.

Pogba, in a similar vein, could be the PL's favourite midfielder of his generation – the sight of his sweetly struck half volleys rattling the roof of the net could form a part of several youtube compilations over the next decade.

Throw in a lack of discipline and a penchant for the audacious, and the prospective future Manchester United captain seems set to provide a great deal of entertainment on his way to becoming the best.
