Ousmane Dembele
29-Year-Old
Paris Saint-Germain
Ligue 1
Set for No.10 role
Dembele had a difficult 62 minutes outing in Monday's 3-1 victory over Northern Ireland as France fine-tune their preparations for the 2026 World Cup, though the Ballon d'Or is expected to start as the number 10 behind Kylian Mbappe and alongside Michael Olise in France's attacking lineup.
ANALYSIS
Dembele arrives at the World Cup fresh from lifting the Champions League trophy with PSG, having scored the crucial penalty in the final against Arsenal before being replaced late due to cramps. The Ballon d'Or brings directness, creativity and a relentless pressing intensity in the front line that makes him one of the most dangerous attackers in the tournament, and coach Didier Deschamps will be hoping his uneven display against Northern Ireland was simply a matter of match sharpness rather than any lingering physical concern ahead of France's opener against Senegal on June 16.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
City rumors completely false
Dembele hasn't been in talks with Manchester City over a summer transfer, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
ANALYSIS
Manchester City are expected to be active in the summer, but Dembele is not one of the team's targets. Furthermore, neither the club nor the player have been in talks with the Frenchman over a move, so those rumors are not true at all. The reality is that Dembele is not expected to leave PSG any time soon.
