Roma loanee Wijnaldum: Mourinho improved me as a footballer

Gini Wijnaldum admits he enjoyed playing for Roma coach Jose Mourinho last season.

The PSG midfielder spent the year on-loan with Roma.

He said, “People don't know him. A lot is said about him, but he was fantastic with me: when I needed him I could count on his presence.

"I consider myself a better footballer after he coached me."

Of his future, Wijnaldum also told L'Equipe: "Before deciding, I have to meet PSG because there are many things to clarify. We read that a new coach will arrive, but it doesn't seem entirely defined.

"If they ask me to stay in Paris I will accept. Last summer the club put me aside because they wanted me to leave and I accepted it."
