Dembele and Kvaratskhelia will ensure a threat to Arsenal

The key to their improvement is to fly Ousmane Dembele and Hvica Quaratzkelia. Dembele may be the best player in Europe since the end of the year, while Kvaratskhelia has been signed by Napoli in the winter transfer window and provided a new dimension to PSG.

From the Quarackelia Louis Enrique said, « He is very young, but he has a lot of experience. It is difficult to find that in an attacker. It was a little difficult for him to adapt, but today his qualities are above average.

« I am very proud of his performance, with what he does without the ball. »
