Ousmane Dembele Named Ligue 1 Player of the Month

The French players’ union (Union Nationale des Footballeurs Professionnels) has officially named Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé as Ligue 1 Player of the Month for January.

The 27-year-old winger, formerly of Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona, has been in exceptional form since the start of the year.


Dembélé’s Incredible Form

  • The Frenchman has scored 13 goals in all competitions since January, including eight in Ligue 1.
  • He leads the Ligue 1 goalscoring charts with 16 goals.
  • Dembélé scored a hat-trick against Brest last week and followed it up with two goals against AS Monaco on Friday.

This is Dembélé’s first Ligue 1 Player of the Month award since March 2016, when he was a breakout star at Rennes.


Impact on PSG’s Tactics

Dembélé’s clinical finishing has given PSG head coach Luis Enrique more tactical flexibility:

  • Bradley Barcola has been deployed as a right-winger.
  • Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, PSG’s new signing from Napoli, has taken up the left-wing position.

What’s Next for PSG?

Les Parisiens will face Brest on Tuesday in the Champions League play-off round first leg as they look to continue their impressive form.
