Dembélé’s Journey: From Inconsistency to PSG’s Key Player

Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) invested €50 million to secure the talents of Ousmane Dembélé. Known for his ability to disrupt defenses with his technical skills, the French forward has often struggled with inconsistency in crucial moments. This significant flaw could hinder his potential to reach the same heights as Kylian Mbappé if not addressed effectively.

During his inaugural season with PSG, Ousmane Dembélé recorded 6 goals and 14 assists across all competitions. While these statistics are commendable, expectations for a player of his caliber are understandably higher. The criticism directed at Dembélé has been considerable, particularly regarding his tendency to miss key scoring opportunities and fail to deliver decisive passes.

Dembélé aims for greater impact this season

The issues with Ousmane Dembélé‘s performance have been clearly identified, and he is actively working to improve this season. Under the guidance of Luis Enrique, the PSG number 10 has displayed a renewed sense of purpose, demonstrating a more decisive edge than ever before. Could this transformation give Dembélé a chance to catch up to Kylian Mbappé?

“If he could finish, he would be another Mbappé”

In a recent discussion on Canal+, former player Samir Nasri addressed the glaring issue that has plagued Ousmane Dembélé. He believes that without this flaw, Dembélé could have been “another Mbappé”. Nasri stated, “He needs to work on his finishing. This has been discussed for years. He possesses everything else: speed, creativity, and all the necessary skills. If he could finish, he would be another Mbappé. The problem is that he hasn’t, and he’s 28 years old; time is running out.”
