Dembele has started with his incredible influence at the Nou Camp
Last season, Barcelona fans grew impatient to see the best of Ousmane Dembele who was signed from Borussia Dortmund as a replacement for Neymar Junior, after the Brazilian left the Nou Camp to complete a world-record deal to join French side, Paris Saint Germain during the summer of 2017.

Although Dembele never reached the expectations that accompanied his move to Barcelona last season due to a terrible injury crisis, the Camp Nou faithful are well pleased and encouraged with what they have seen from the Frenchman so far this season.
The 21-year-old has come back to shut his critics during the term, producing a couple of extraordinary performances for Barcelona and recording an impressive 5 goals to his name for the Catalan giants across all competitions as he continues with his upward trajectory.
Dembele has proved his pure class and raw talent, therefore, the Blaugrana need to monitor his development closely throughout the campaign as he could also play a decisive role in the club's campaign, just as he has shown us with his brilliant winners against the likes of Sevilla (Supercoppa de Espana) and Real Valladolid recently.
