Ousmane Dembele has taken up the number 10 jersey at Paris Saint-Germain after Neymar's departure.

  • Dembele takes number 10
  • Takes over from Neymar
  • Follows Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho

WHAT HAPPENED? The French star joined the French champions last week in a long-drawn and rather farcical move away from FC Barcelona. Dembele had originally chosen the No. 26 jersey, however, after the departure of Neymar to Al-Hilal, the winger has now taken over the number 10 jersey.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Demeble's move to PSG came under a lot of scrutiny over the last few weeks after Barca and the player went back and forth regarding the release clause, so much so, that Dembele's agent Moussa Sissoko is reportedly planning to take the Joan Laporta led club to court over settling the monetary matters.
