Moussa Dembélé
Moussa Dembélé attacks space, uses back-to-goal holds, and bursts beyond the line as a true center-forward. Dembélé built his reputation at Celtic FC from 2016 to 2018. He thrives on quick, direct runs. A move to Lyon (2018–2023) saw him score twice as a substitute to knock Manchester City from the 2020 Champions League. He had a loan spell at Atletico Madrid in 2021, contributing to their La Liga title. France international, Dembélé remains a core striker for Al-Ettifaq. He checks short then spins in behind, presses high to force turnovers from the front. Dembélé finishes moves with rapid shots off quick combination play.
