Arsenal legend, Emmanuel Petit, has slammed those criticising Paris Saint-Germain winger, Ousmane Dembele ahead of their Champions League game with Arsenal.
There are concerns about the Frenchman's poor form of recent, having failed to register a goal contribution in the last four games.
But Dembele has already had a fantastic season, helping the Ligue1 side claim the league trophy, registering 32 goals and 11 assists from 43 games.
Against Nantes on Tuesday, the former Barcelona man managed just one shot on target and two touches in the opposition box.
PSG is now fully focused on winning the Champions League for the first time, with the semifinal against Arsenal just around the corner
Dembele's struggles in the final third have fans worried ahead of the game.
But speaking on the Rothen s'enflamme podcast as cited by The Mirror, Petit insisted that the player's goalscoring drought is nothing to be concerned about.
“There's no let-up! In the Champions League quarter-finals, he was decisive, providing the assist in both matches. I don't know what you're expecting,” said Petit.
He continued:
“What are you waiting for? For him to score, make assists, and win every match single-handedly? Not even two weeks ago, he was decisive against Aston Villa. Now, we're only talking about the match against Nantes… I heard that on other shows, too, I fell out of bed.”
Arsenal, interestingly, have lost just one game in the Champions League this season.
