Koeman reveals his strong love for Dembele: 'He has improved physically'

Koeman says that Dembele has improved physically and the coach praises Ousmane's 1vs1 abilities, claiming that he adds depth to Barca's games.

In addition, the winger is happy to be at the club.

"Physically, Ousmane Dembele has improved a lot and I have no doubt about his quality as a player. I don't know how he was in the past. He's great, good one against one, and adds a lot of depth to our game. I love this player, and now he's very happy, which is very nice," Ronald Koeman said in the press conference ahead of the Real Betis clash.

Dembele is having a great season, so far. The Frenchman has made 23 appearances for Barcelona this term, scoring six goals and providing three assists.

Ousmane has missed five matches due to injury but managed to stay fit for the most part.
