Ousmane Dembele's Barcelona career got off to a dreadful start, as the Frenchman was kept on the sidelines for almost six months after a £135.5 million move to Barcelona in the summer.

However, things have gotten better for him in 2018. Earlier in the month, he scored his first goal for Barcelona, in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 game against Chelsea. In his last five starts, the Frenchman has scored 1 and created 3 goals.

One thing that Barcelona lacked this season was pace in the wide areas and the return of Dembele will certainly provide that. The 20-year-old showed flashes of his brilliance against Chelsea and Malaga and his return will obviously add to Barcelona's strength.
