Why This Rank

A fully fit Ousmane Dembélé is one of football's most thrilling sights. At PSG he has finally found the consistency his talent always promised — low to the ground, explosive over five metres, and capable of the unexpected at any moment. His direct dribbling and contribution in wide areas make him a constant threat throughout 90 minutes.
