The 24-year-old French defender has been on fire this season, leading the league with four goals and six assists.
Lyon's midfield maestro is having another standout season for his club, scoring eight goals and providing five assists in all competitions so far this year. He has also been a key player for France in their recent international fixtures, helping them reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, as he was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year earlier this month. He has also been called up to the France national team for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Ukraine.
Dembélé has been praised for his ability to create chances and score goals, as well as his leadership qualities. His performances have also helped Lyon secure their place in the Champions League group stages, despite losing several key players to injury.
Despite the praise, Dembélé remains humble about his achievements. "It's nice to be recognized, but I'm just happy to be playing football," he said. "I want to keep improving and working hard every day."
With his impressive form continuing into the new season, it will be interesting to see how Dembélé performs for Lyon and whether he can help them win the league title again.
