This will be Dembélé's third season at Barça and he's looking to find the consistency which has escaped him in those previous two.
The winger has been linked as one of the players who might be used in a potential swap deal for Neymar. However, Barça's president Josep Maria Bartomeu said Dembele was a highly valued member of the squad and that he was even better than Neymar.
