    Dembele gets Zidane France’s player of the year vote ahead of Paul Pogba

    No secret that Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is a long time admirer of Borussia Dortmund star Ousmane Dembele. The 19-year-old winger joined the Bundesliga giants from Rennes last summer for just € 15 million and he’s impressing in his first season in Germany with five goals and 12 assists in 24 games in all competitions.

    Zidane closely watched Dembele when the Frenchman played against Real Madrid in the group stage of the 2016/17 Champions League campaign and, according to Marca, the 1998 France World Cup winner has voted the promising winger ahead of Paul Pogba for France’s player of the year.

    The Spanish news outlet reports Zidane’s preferences:
    1. Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
    2. Raphael Varane (Real Madrid)
    3. Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)
    4. Ousmane Dembele (Borussia Dortmund)
    5. Paul Pogba (Manchester United)
    We all know how Zidane desperately wanted to sign Paul Pogba last summer. Real Madrid were the only club that had really challenged Manchester United for the signing of the former Juventus midfielder and that’s why we should expect an offer of Real Madrid to sign Dembele in the summer transfer window.
