The coach said he can be a world class talent for the club if he works right

What to do with Ousmane Dembele? Xavi had no doubts. He spoke about the French forward in his press conference.

“With good work he can be the best player in the world in his position,” said Xavi. “He has some spectacular attributes. It’s very important to have a winning mentality, and to perform. His contract renewal is a priority right now.”

Dembele is out of contract at the end of the season and can sign for another side in January to move in six months time.

His time at Barcelona has been heavily injury hit. “Injuries will happen but we want to train well,” said Xavi. “I don’t know how they are training until now, but maybe better. We want to do prevention work, in the gym. It’s a topic of performance and results. We’ll be judged on that. We have to be very demanding of ourselves and the players.”
