London, 16 May 2025
Arsène Wenger has praised Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba as a rising force in French football, describing him as a potential future superstar for the national team.
Speaking on BeIN Sports, the Arsenal manager highlighted Pogba’s unique blend of physicality and skill. “Paul Pogba is a bit of a rouser in the French national team,” Wenger said. “He can become the player of tomorrow for France.”
Wenger, who has extensive experience nurturing French talent, compared Pogba’s qualities to those of former Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira. “It’s a combination of Vieira’s quality and his strength in impact. He can also create goals and score them,” he added.
Pogba, who has impressed with his dynamic performances at Juventus, is increasingly seen as a key figure for both club and country as the 2014 World Cup approaches.
