France’s ever-growing talent pool makes for tough decisions for Didier Deschamps

Ousmane Dembele netted the game-winner for France as they fought back with 10 men to defeat England 3-2.

Didier Deschamps heaps praise on Paul Pogba for his impact for France in their last two matches.

Brian McBride says wherever AS Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe plays next season, he should ensure he’ll receive ample playing time.
Just 38 years of age between them both. Kylian Mbappe turned 18 last December and Ousmane Dembele only blew out the 20 candles on his birthday cake last month. That they are both extremely talented — borderline geniuses even — is nothing new. But against England (3-2) in their first start for France together, Mbappe’s fourth cap and Dembele’s seventh, the duo showed they were ready to do it at the highest level despite their youth and have now made Didier Deschamps’ nights a lot more difficult…

The main problem is — and it’s quite a big obstacle — none of the three players’ respective clubs want to sell. None of them have to sell, either. And Barca’s budget, pending any sales, is likely to restrict them from…

Samuel Umtiti has told L’Equipe that Barcelona would love to bring Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembele to the Camp Nou this summer as they seek to close the gap on rivals Real Madrid.
Dembele, 20, moved to Dortmund less than a year ago from Rennes and enjoyed an impressive maiden season in Germany with 10 goals and 21 assists in all competitions for the Bundesliga club, helping them qualify for next season’s Champions League and win the DFB Pokal.
Given he is just a year into a five-year contract…
