A versatile midfielder, Wijnaldum has been used primarily as a central or defensive player by both clubs he's played for throughout his career so far - an attribute which may give him an advantage playing alongside more attacking players at Roma.

Known for his strong passing ability and workrate off the ball, Wijnaldum is considered one of Holland's most promising young talents.

With 26 caps under his belt (including 3 starts), he is well on track to becoming regular captain of Netherlands' national team in future years.

Despite being 32 years old now - making him somewhat older than many of Europe's top midfielders - Georginio still has plenty left in terms of potential; we can only hope that he continues developing at such a rapid rate.
