Biography

The Barca forward was born and raised in Vernon, Northern France. His parents, Ousmane Snr and Fatimata were immigrants from Mauritania who moved to France for a better living. Dembele's father is a Malian, while his mother is Mauritanian-Senegalese.

Ousmane became obsessed with football as a kid and opted to pursue his career dream rather than study. He moved to Rennes (North-East France) with his father to meet his uncle Sambagué, who was a footballer and his role model.

Ousmane Dembele's height

Looking at Mosquito's height, some may think that he is among the tall players in the Barca squad. However, his height of 1.78 m does not rank him in the top five. Gerard Piqué (1.94m), Sergio Busquets (1.89m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (1.87m), Frenkie de Jong (1.80m), and Nico Gonzalez (1.88m) are the tallest stars in the Catalan team.

Early career

Dembele started his youth career in 2004 at the Madeleine Évreux football club. He played for ALM Evreux and Evreux FC 2 before joining Rennes.

The pacy forward joined Rennes in 2010 at 13 and started playing for their reserve team. In 2014, he made his debut in the Championnat de France Amateur. His first career goal was on 9 November that year, against Laval's reserves. He finished his first season with 13 goals from 18 matches.

Ousmane made his senior team debut for Rennes in November 2015 against Angers SCO. His first league goal was against Bordeaux a few weeks later. The 25-year-old spent five years at Rennes before moving to Germany.

He signed a five-year contract with the Bundesliga club on 12 May 2016 but joined in July. His first goal for the team came against VfL Wolfsburg in September. Dembele proved his talent to the world at Borussia by helping them clinch their first major title in five years. He netted his club's first goal in their 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2017 DFB-Pokal final.

His outstanding performance in the final won him the man of the match award and Bundesliga's rookie of the 2016/17 season. He attracted interest from several top clubs in Europe before Spanish giants Barcelona snatched him.

FC Barcelona (2017-date)

The Catalan club paid Borussia around $109 million-plus, a reported $42,000 add-on for Dembele as Neymar's replacement. The deal made Ousmane the joint-second most expensive player alongside Paul Pogba at the time.

The 25-year-old debuted for Barca in September 2017 against Espanyol and scored his first goal against Chelsea in the Champions League. Ousmane showed promising signs of enjoying a smooth career at the club before injuries started creeping in.

Despite the soaring injuries, the French star added more trophies to his list. He has become an integral team member under new manager Xavi Hernandez. He is also one of the most decorated youngsters in football.

Elsewhere, Ousmane Dembele's contract with the club runs out on 30 June 2022. However, he has yet to sign an extension, casting doubts on his future in Spain.
