Ex-Liverpool star Gini Wijnaldum hits embarrassing new low with 'flop of the year' title

It’s fair to say Gini Wijnaldum‘s move to Paris Saint-Germain hasn’t played out how he or the French giants were expecting.

He struggled to secure a regular role within Mauricio Pochettino’s side, going on to amass just 1,933 minutes of action over 38 appearances, of which only 22 were starts. This led to him scooping the award of ‘ Ligue 1 Flop Signing of the Year’ by Get French Football News.

With over 100,000 votes combined with the input from an expert panel, Wijnaldum is said to have won the award by some distance. Beyond the shame of receiving the reward, the midfielder's disastrous campaign has also led to him dropping out of contention for the Netherlands and his place at this year’s World Cup looks under real threat.
