Eagle's Eye! Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger Admits He Almost Signed Pogba

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he once tried to sign Juventus on-form midfielder Paul Pogba from Manchester United.

The french Tactician has revealed that he attempted to bring the young Midfield dynamo to the Emirates before he left Manchester United.
Wenger told BeinSports: “As a footballer, he (Pogba) has everything. It is difficult to figure out what he doesn’t have.
“Things happened very quickly. We were interested in him. We tried to get him to come here. But he very quickly signed for Juventus.
“He has the potential to win the Ballon d’Or.”
Paul Pogba left Old Trafford very cheaply and has since flourished for both France and Juventus. His mind-blowing displays has made him one of the best young player in Europe and is being sought after by the biggest clubs in world football.
