Georginio Wijnaldum is an important player for Liverpool.
Alan Shearer has spoken highly of Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum on BBC Sport.
The Newcastle United legend believes that Wijnaldum should have been included in the PFA Team of the Year.
The former England international striker has claimed that the 28-year-old Netherlands international is “Mr Consistent”.
Shearer told BBC Sport about Wijnaldum: “Wijnaldum is Mr Consistent. I don’t think Liverpool would be where they are without his performances.
“He offers solidity and is a leader in that midfield. Not many people mention him compared to the others, but he has been a regular 8/10 each week.”
Important player
Wijnaldum played well for Newcastle during the 2015-2016 season and joined Liverpool in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Liverpool Echo to be worth £23 million.
The Dutchman has established himself as an important player for Liverpool and is a key figure in manager Jurgen Klopp’s team.
According to WhoScored, the 28-year-old midfielder has made 29 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool this season, scoring three goals in the process.
Wijnaldum has taken his game to another level since he left Newcastle, and it will not have come as a surprise to the St. James’ Park faithful due to the quality he has and what he showed during his time at the Magpies.
