The agent of Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele insists his client is able to “shut out” all the “unfounded” criticism that has rained down on him recently and that it will not push the World Cup winner to question his future with the La Liga giants.
Dembele’s lifestyle has been called into question of late with reports the France international has regularly arrived late for team meetings and games with his club, but Moussa Sissoko told RMC: “Ousmane’s not reacting too badly. He’s knows how to shut out that criticism, especially when it’s unfounded. Having said that, he knows how to use it when it’s not, to react in the best way possible on and off the pitch.
“Ousmane is 20 [actually 21], plays for Barcelona, one of the biggest clubs in the world. He’s had a super start to the season scoring six goals and two assists. I don’t understand all the critcism right now. We’re aware there are things to improve, that’s for sure. He’s 20, it’s normal. But Ousmane is very calm, he keeps working.”
