Three reasons Danny Rose’s potential move to PSG makes sense

Kylian Mbappe’s sensational World Cup, compared with the Brazilian’s dramatics, means he’s not necessarily the biggest star at the club anymore either.

However, the arrival of Rose could help him to cement his place in the upper echelons of the game. Neymar starts wide on the left and likes to cut inside, while Rose constantly races down the flank.

Opposition right-backs could be stuck in no man’s land against both of them. If they go with Neymar, Rose will be unmarked on the wing, but if they track the run, Neymar is free to run at goal.

Tuchel’s type

Rose is exactly the sort of well-rounded player that new PSG boss Thomas Tuchel likes to work with. His time working with Mauricio Pochettino has tightened up his defensive instincts, without compromising his attacking threat.

PSG are so dominant in Ligue 1 that they control most games without any problems. But when they face another European giant, they struggle to adjust. Despite their massive spending, they’ve been unable to get beyond the Champions League quarter-finals. They’re 6/1 to win it this year.

Their possession-based game doesn’t work as well against the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City, who can use the ball even better. Tuchel has a very flexible approach and will look to add more variety to the team’s style.

Rose would give him the option to play with a back three or a back four. He can defend deep or play more like a traditional winger. He isn’t a superstar, but he could be very useful in the biggest games.
