Ousmane Dembele has labelled his new Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi as
"the greatest player in history", claiming he is out of this world.
The 20-year-old completed his €105 million move from Borussia Dortmund on August 28, following weeks of speculation which marked him as Neymar's replacement after the Brazil star's record-breaking €222m switch to Paris Saint-Germain.
The France international took matters into his own hands by refusing to train with the German club in order to force through his "dream move".
Now, having been confirmed as a Barca player, Dembele has shared his early memories of the Catalan club and named Andres Iniesta and Messi as inspirations.
"I remember two games especially," Dembele told Sport. "One against Chelsea, when Iniesta scored the goal to qualify for the Champions League final. When I see Andres now I remember it. I can't wait to tell him.
