Dembele to do 'much better'

Dembele to do 'much better'

The Belgium striker made an eye-catching home debut as a second half substitute against Manchester United but ankle injuries soon halted his season for three full months. He made a goalscoring return in January in the 4-0 FA Cup victory over Tottenham and made 28 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring five times. "It was my first year and when you come in you always want to do well and prove yourself," Mousa told Fulham's official website. "The Premier League is the best in the world and I'm very satisfied right now - although I can do much better. "When a player arrives in England, from the very start people ask questions. Can they compete in this league? Will the play be too physical? Can he impose himself on matches? "Ten months on I'm in a position where I can answer those questions. Yes I can. It has been a real challenge, I cannot deny that. But I think I will become a much better player for the experience."
