Ousmane Dembele’s a Sunday League showman on peak Neymar levels… look at his assists
Call us stupid but we half-expected Ousmane Dembele’s form to fall off a cliff this season.
For years, Dembele was a byword for Barcelona’s wastefulness in the transfer market. The €105million man drove coaches to distraction with his lack of application, poor diet and timekeeping that was awful even by Spanish standards.
His contract, which was due to expire last May, was viewed as a millstone around the club’s neck. Fans couldn’t wait to get shot of Dembele, who attracted interest from English circuses Chelsea and Manchester United.
