Dembele and Deulofeu have been pretty impressive so far

A huge amount of money was in Barcelona's pocket after the mega transfer. Ousmane Dembele, arguably one of the most exciting prospects in Europe, was signed for around €105 million as Neymar's long-term replacement.

Meanwhile, Gerard Deulofeu has been brought back home from Everton to support the attack. Young players of such great potential are always good for a team in the long run. Now, the first team spot cannot be given to any one player so easily.

This meant that both of them would get chances to prove themselves. Deulofeu played 5 games in the league and created 9 chances for the team, and has been combing with Messi ever so well.

He definitely understands the Barcelona style of play. All he has to do is to improve his decision-making at crucial moments of the game and he will be great this season.

On the other hand, Dembele looked promising before being sidelined for a couple of months due to an injury. The Frenchman will look to hit the ground running as soon as he returns.
