Ousmane Dembélé

Ousmane Dembélé is one of the most frustrating and thrilling wide forwards of his generation. After a Barcelona career defined as much by injuries and inconsistency as by his dazzling dribbling and crossing ability, he has reinvented himself at PSG as a more disciplined, productive player — his assist numbers in Ligue 1 have been exceptional. Predominantly right-footed but devastating cutting inside or delivering from the right flank, he has become a more reliable version of himself in his late twenties. For France, he offers a directness and unpredictability on the right that few players in the world can match.
