Barcelona manager Xavi reportedly picks out Ousmane Dembele as an example to the rest of his squad, despite uncertainty over the Frenchman's future at Camp Nou.

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has reportedly told the rest of his players to use Ousmane Dembele as an example.

Xavi had previously stated that he was keen for the France international to remain at Camp Nou following a number of impressive performances that have seen Dembele grab two goals and 11 assists this season.

However, with Dembele's contract due to expire in the summer, it was expected that the 24-year-old would be leaving the Catalan giants.

Although a new contract is far from being agreed upon, the Frenchman has continued to impress his boss, with The Mirror reporting that the player's work-rate and attitude has resulted in the Barcelona head coach hailing him as an example to the rest of the dressing-room.

Xavi is not the only individual at Camp Nou that has been left impressed by Dembele's performances, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also urging the forward to stay.

The likes of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs to have been linked with a move for Dembele this summer.
