For this trip to Arsenal, Ousmane Dembele is going to try and do more than follow Luis Enrique’s instructions. The French star wants to bring this Paris Saint-Germain team to the next level, in the same way the Spanish coach has done for everyone else at the club.
You couldn’t really have a better indication of that transformation than Dembele’s own standards since PSG's last visit to Arsenal. There are the 24 goals in 23 games, sure. There is also the sheer discipline, a quality that hasn’t always been associated with either the player or the club. Luis Enrique felt he had no choice but to drop Dembele for the 2-0 defeat at the Emirates back in October. The 27-year-old had been turning up late for training, and the word from within the club was that “he was behaving like it was the old PSG”.
