PAUL Pogba is a well recognised name in the world of football – but he’s not the only famous footballer in his household.
And recently he has become embroiled in a bizarre blackmail row, involving his own brother Mathias and a sum of £11million.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Pogba brothers – both on and off the field.
Who is Mathias Pogba?
Mathias Fassou Pogba, born August 19, 1990 is a Guinean professional footballer.
Born in Conakry, Guinea – to mother Yeo, along with twin brother Florentin.
The forward initially rose through the youth ranks at Celta along with his twin, before joining Breton club Quimper where he was handed his first professional contract in 2009.
In September 2010, Pogba moved to the UK and joined Conference National side Wrexham – after a successful trial spell the month before.
However, he decided to move on from Wrexham in a bid to play football at a higher level – which didn’t go down too well with club boss Andy Morrell.

He criticised Pogba’s handling of the situation, describing him as “disrespectful” to the club after not informing them of his intention to leave until 48-hours before the start of the club’s pre-season.
Mathias has since played for a number of teams in his 13 active years as a professional, both in and outside of the UK.
