Ousmane Dembele fluffs keepy-uppies at Barcelona unveiling
What is it with Barça's new signings? First it was Paulinho; now Dembele follows him in struggling to do the business in front of his new fans
Ousmane Dembele completed his huge move to Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund on Friday, for an initial £96m that could rise to £136m.
The Frenchman is a tricky customer: in a famous interview during his time at Rennes, the talented 20-year-old professed to being left-footed but prefers to shoot with his right foot.
But despite his talents, Dembele had a bit of a nightmare at his Camp Nou unveiling when asked to perform a few tricks in front of his new home crowd. Having fallen short with an attempt at keepy-uppies, the young Frenchman's rainbow flick went even worse.
The winger says he's arrived in Catalonia “to learn from Messi”. Maybe the Argentine can start by giving him some showboating tips.
