French international and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba says that he wants to become one of the best players in the world. The former Manchester United man is fast becoming one of the noted personalities in the centre of the park. He was regarded as someone with a lot of promise, but his free transfer to Juventus appears to have taken him to another level. Even though Andrea Pirlo has received widespread acclaim for helping the club win three consecutive league titles, it is clear that Pogba has also been one of the major influences.
The midfielder had an incredible World Cup 2014 to only add to his reputation. Juventus have started the season in brilliant fashion just as they have done in recent years. This would have been surprising to some given that there was expected to be a lull after three years of joy. Antonio Conte leaving the club just before the start of the season does not appear to have affected them at all since Massimiliano Allegri has been able to keep the players motivated. Pogba won the Young player of the tournament award at the World Cup. He has now set his sights upon the FIFA Ballon d’Or award. Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is the favourite for this year’s award.
"I'm very proud to receive this award and it was an honour for me to play in the World Cup. I can't predict what's going to happen in the future but I'm going to do all I can to win even more trophies. I'm going to keep working hard. My aim is to become the best player in the world," said the midfielder, who joined the club in 2012. The success at Juventus has made him subject to a £ 60 million bid from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.
