According to French media footmercato, Dembele became the sixth French player to win the Golden Globe Award, and he is also the first player to be nominated for the first time since 1995 Golden Globe winner George Weiah.

This data perfectly demonstrates Dembele's rapid rise. Under the guidance of Louis Enrique, the 28-year-old was repositioned as center and became an indispensable member of the Paris Saint-Germain offensive line. Dembele performed well last season, with a total of 53 appearances, scoring 35 goals and contributing 16 assists, and also performing well on the defensive end.

Liberian legendary star George Wea won three awards in the 1995 Golden Globe Awards, World Footballer and African Footballer in the 1995 season. He became the only player to win these three honors in the same year, and was also the first non-European nationality player to win the award after the restructuring of the Golden Globe Awards.
