Ex-Spurs star tells compatriot his Liverpool exit last summer was a ‘mistake’

Georginio Wijnaldum “made a mistake” signing for PSG after leaving Liverpool last summer, according to ex-Tottenham star Rafael van der Vaart.

Wijnaldum signed for Liverpool in 2016 for a fee in the region of £25m from their league rivals Newcastle United.

The Dutchman grew to be a key player for the Reds. He played just short of 250 times as he helped them win the Champions League and Premier League.

The midfielder departed Liverpool last summer after his contract expired. He was linked with Barcelona but he ended up joining PSG.

Earlier this month, he admitted that he has found this season “very difficult”.

Fellow Dutchman Van der Vaart played 77 times for Tottenham between 2010 and 2012. He believes WIjnaldum’s move to PSG was a mistake:

“Wijnaldum made a mistake in choosing PSG,” Van der Vaart said (via TeamTalk).

“Meanwhile, [Steven] Berghuis made an excellent choice choosing to move from Feyenoord to Ajax.

“Now Wijnaldum will understand why making the right choice is so important.”

Elsewhere, Man Utd legend Gary Neville has admitted that he is ‘scared’ that Liverpool will win “three or four trophies” this season:

“When I watched them against Arsenal, there is nothing I saw that didn’t tell me they’re going to go and win the title. That is a title winning performance.
