#4 Ousmane Dembele to Barcelona
Trending
While his younger compatriot, Mbappe, is being touted as the future Ballon d’Or winner, Ousmane Dembele is perhaps the more talented player. Indeed, when he runs with the ball glued to his feet, he gives the impression of a man on a mission to simply humiliate defenders.
Even after watching him for a prolonged period, most can’t determine his stronger foot as he can use both of them to dribble and shoot. In fact, even he gave a confusing answer when asked which foot is his stronger one.
If Barcelona sign him, they will have a player who can take Lionel Messi’s position on the pitch while the Argentine shifts to midfield and rejuvenates the creative aspect for Barca. The Frenchman already possesses the dribbling ability of the former Newell’s prodigy—falling short by just 0.4 dribbles-per-game when compared to Messi’s 3.6 dribbles-per-game last season.
While just signing Dembele alone is unlikely to solve all the problems in the side, it certainly will lug some of the gaps in midfield while not hampering the attack too much. Barcelona’s defence and bench strength will still not be up to the mark, but the signing of Dembele would be like killing two birds with one stone.
