Dembélé began his career at Rennes before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2016. He won the DFB-Pokal with Dortmund in the 2016–17 season, scoring a goal in the final. A year later, he transferred to Barcelona for an initial fee of €105 million, becoming at the time the joint-second most expensive footballer ever, alongside compatriot Paul Pogba. Dembélé went on to win three La Liga, two Copa del Rey, and two Supercopa de España titles with the club. He returned to France with Paris Saint-Germain in 2023.

After winning 20 caps and scoring five goals at youth level, Dembélé made his senior international debut for France in 2016. He was a member of the France squad that won the 2018 FIFA World Cup, also featuring at UEFA Euro 2020, the 2022 World Cup (finishing as runners-up) and Euro 2024.

Style of play

Dembélé is a winger who can play on either flank, due to his ability to use both feet, and to utilise his technical ability, speed, and agility in order to get past opponents or beat defenders in one-on-one situations. Dembélé can also operate as a left or right-sided attacking midfielder in a 4–4–2 or 3–5–2 formation. His clinical finishing and eye for goal also allow him to be deployed in a more offensive role as a striker. Dembélé also has great quality in terms of his shooting ability from distance.

Dembélé has received praise from former team captain Andrés Iniesta for his game-changing qualities.{{cite news |url=https://en.as.com/en/2019/02/27/football/1551272729_055553.html |title=Arthur and Dembélé earn praise from Barcelona great Iniesta |newspaper=Diario AS |date=27 February 2019 |access-date=19 March 2019 |archive-date=24 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124043406/https://en.as.com/en/2019/02/27/football/1551272729_055553.html |url-status=live }} He is well known for his ability to use either foot;{{Cite web |last=Sport |date=2018-12-12 |title=Left or right footed?

The Frenchman is also an excellent crosser of the ball; moreover, his creativity is exceptional when in possession. Furthermore, his pace and intelligent runs make him a major offensive threat during counterattacks.
