Arsenal hero Petit urges move for unhappy PSG midfielder Wijnaldum

Arsenal hero Emmanuel Petit says they should move for unhappy PSG midfielder Gini Wijnaldum.

Wijnaldum joined the Parisian side last summer on a free transfer after his contract at Liverpool expired but has already been linked with an early exit.

The 31-year-old has struggled to cement his place in Mauricio Pochettino's side and is believed to be open to a return to the Premier League.

"When he scored two goals [against RB Leipzig] in the Champions League last November, I was at the stadium that night and I thought it could be the perfect game for him to properly start his season with Paris Saint-Germain," Petit told Bookmakers.co.uk.

"But, he is struggling and he is quite isolated in the PSG dressing room.

"He doesn't have the relationship with his teammates that he had when he was with Liverpool.

"He seems to be missing that kind of affection, and the competition is very high at PSG.

"We all know the quality that Wijnaldum possesses, he was a top player at Liverpool, so maybe a return to the Premier League could be something good for him.
