Ousmane Dembélé has reached a new level with the French national team. Long regarded as one of France’s key technical leaders, the PSG forward has now become one of the main figures in the dressing room.
Who could have imagined this a few years ago? Struggling at Barcelona, constantly sidelined by injuries, and now a two-time Champions League winner, Ballon d’Or recipient, and one of the senior voices within the France squad. Alongside Kylian Mbappé, Dembélé has gained enormous influence within the national team setup.
Dembélé’s Growing Influence in the France Squad
According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Dembélé’s impact extends far beyond what he does on the pitch. His influence within Didier Deschamps’ squad is now said to be considerable, making him one of the most respected personalities in the group.
“If Ousmane decides to go right, most of the players will go right. If he wants to start a game after dinner, he will immediately find teammates to join him,” a source close to the French team revealed. The quote highlights just how important he has become inside the camp.
Respected for his performances, appreciated for his personality, and valued for his experience, the Paris Saint-Germain star has become a reference point for many of his teammates. Just days before France begin their 2026 World Cup campaign, Dembélé’s rise confirms that he is no longer simply one of the team’s stars—he is now one of its true leaders.
