Dembele assigned Barca squad number

Ousmane Dembele’s move to the Camp Nou was confirmed earlier on Friday, with Barcelona set to part with an initial €105m for the French international.

Just minutes after the move was confirmed, the Frenchman’s new employers revealed which number would be emblazoned across the playmaker’s back this season.

The number in question? None other than Neymar’s old No 11 shirt, vacated by the Brazilian’s €222m to PSG.

Given the hype that Dembele’s signing has been met with on social media and his new found ownership of one of the most celebrated shirts in club’s recent history, there will no doubt be a lot of pressure on the 20-year-old’s shoulders.

Will things go as well for Dembele as they did for Neymar at the Camp Nou?
