According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool have been offered the chance to sign Ousmane Dembele for a fee in the region of £90m, with Barcelona keen to recoup some money having already splashed out on a major transfer already.

The Spanish champions parted with £65m to lure Frenkie de Jong to the Camp Nou, and Atletico Madrid CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has said that Antoine Griezmann will go to Barcelona too - a huge move that they will need a lot of money to sanction.

If the French international did turn up at Anfield, it would be an extremely exciting move for a player with all the talent in the world, whilst he would also be in a fast-paced, attacking system where he would thrive.

But where would he fit in and how would he compare to the man in his position, Sadio Mane?

Dembele appeared as a left forward 14 times last term as opposed to eight on the right, so it could be assumed that he would also play on the left if he signed for Liverpool, where Mane plays.

As you can see from the above, the former Rennes star appears to be less direct in comparison to the Senegal international, but a far greater creative source.

Dembele takes 1.1 less shots per game than Mane, and makes 0.3 more key passes than the former Southampton man, suggesting that he is more selfless when in possession.

His assist tally further reinforces that fact. The 22-year-old managed to grab five league assists last term in comparison to Mane's one - there is no reason for the 27-year-old mustering up just a single set-up other than his lack of creativity, given the proficiency of his teammates Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino in front of goal.

Dembele also embarks on almost a whole dribble more than Mane per game, suggesting that he likes to get on the ball and take people on with the intention of making things happen, whereas the Liverpool No.10 has become somewhat more of an off-the-ball player who finishes moves off.

If Liverpool did manage to sign the former Borussia Dortmund man, who signed for Barcelona in a £96.8m deal, then they would have two amazing options out on the left flank who offer vastly different qualities.

A true embarrassment of riches.
