#4 Dembele is important and a bit of Slimani

Messi wants Dembele to stay

The importance of Ousmane Dembele keeps increasing with each passing day but then he messes it up with his antics. Recently, there were reports of him arriving late to training.

Nevertheless, Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has stated that the club need a player like him as he was crucial against Espanyol in the last match.

"He wants to play, he had a good game, scored a goal and was important. We need him," Messi stated.

Meanwhile, a report from The Telegraph states that new Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri is looking at his old club Leicester City in a bid to sign Islam Slimani on a loan deal.

Slimani, who is the Foxes' record signing, is currently on loan at Fenerbahce but that deal could be cut short by the Turkish outfit.
