A creative, attacking player with plenty of pace, an eye for goal and a good range of passing, Moussa Dembele has made an impressive start to life at the Cottage.
The striker made his home debut as a second half substitute against Manchester United and opened his account for the Club three days later against Port Vale in the Carling Cup.
Dembele started his professional career at Germinal Beerschot before moving to Willem II in 2005. Despite the Tilburg side enduring a difficult season and finishing in the lower half of the table, Dembele weighed in with an impressive nine goals.
His performances caught the attention of AZ Alkmaar and he joined Louis van Gaal’s side in the summer of 2006. He scored six goals for AZ in his first season and followed that with a fine 07/08 campaign.
However it was his magnificent performances in Alkmaar’s 2008/09 title-winning season, which saw Dembele provide a number of assists and score 10 goals that confirmed him as one of the Eredivisie’s prime talents.
Dembele is also a regular in the Belgium national team.
