Gini Wijnaldum has been named the 'Ligue 1 Flop of the Year' after an underwhelming first season with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Netherlands international made the move to Paris on a free transfer from Liverpool after his contract expired and the two parties could not agree fresh terms.
Wijnaldum opened his account for PSG with a Champions League brace in a 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig in November but the general consensus is that he didn't do the business.
