Dembele wants starting role

Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele is hopeful of securing a regular place in the starting line up.

Dembele joined from Borussia Dortmund at the beginning of last season for a fee in the region of £100million but during his time at Camp Nou he has so far failed to replicate the form he had at BVB.

With Lionel Messi out for a few weeks with a fractured arm Dembele may have a chance to stake a claim for a first team spot, but he was left on the bench for the midweek Champions League game against Inter Milan.

“In the last games, I was on the bench, but I will hold on,” Dembele said to Telefoot, adding he must improve in the final third.

“That’s what I miss, I also need to avoid losing the ball.

“Messi? He advises me, he tells me to play like in Dortmund, as I can do, to let go on the field.

“I am determined, last year I had a big injury, I have to prove and show myself at every game.”
