For some players in the world of elite level football it is quite easy to go under appreciated. Or, at the very least, underappreciated.
Few stars exemplify this more succinctly than Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, a dynamic Dutchman whose football game has more layers than a prize-winning onion.
The last 18 months have been something of a whirlwind for the 30-year-old, who has become both a European and Premier League champion while preparing to enter the peak years of his career... yet uncertainty looms large.
Jurgen Klopp has never made secret of his infatuation with Wijnaldum and the wide repertoire he brings to Liverpool's red juggernaut, but the elephant in the Anfield boardroom still to this day remains the player's rapidly dwindling contract.
