Patrick Vieira has warned Arsenal that Ousmane Dembele is the one Paris Saint-Germain player to look out for in the Champions League final.
Mikel Arteta’s team have the chance to create history on the weekend when they face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final.
😬 Which PSG player worries you the most for the Champions League final?
The Gunners have the chance to win their first-ever European Cup, but face a tough task against a PSG team looking to defend their crown.
Speaking ahead of the game, the former Arsenal captain has warned the team about the threats PSG have and how Luis Enrique has transformed the French club.
Patrick Vieira warns Arsenal about Ousmane Dembele
Patrick Vieira claims that Ousmane Dembele is the one Paris Saint-Germain player to keep an eye on in the Champions League final.
The former French international claims that Dembele has been the best player in the world over the last two to three years.
Vieira told Sky Sports: “We’re talking about Mikel and how he built that team with a really good spirit. Luis Enrique has done the same with Paris Saint-Germain. He changed one or two players, and he really managed to change the mentality of that team.
“But if I have to mention one name, it’s Dembele. Dembele has been the best footballer in the last two to three years. Scoring important goals and working really hard for the team,” said Vieira.
However, Dembele has been struggling with an injury and has only just returned to training ahead of the final, so it’s unclear what condition he will be in.

Another player Vieira has highlighted is Marquinhos, who has played most of his football this season in the Champions League, making just 14 Ligue 1 appearances.
“At the back, you have as well Marquinhos with a lot of experience, and he gives the team a defensive balance, and he’s been a really important player for them as well. So there’s no doubt that there is a good spirit at Paris Saint-Germain.
“There’s a lot of confidence as well. So I’m really looking forward to that game because these are the two best teams in Europe.”
