The German, who coached Dembele at Borussia Dortmund, gave his verdict on his former player. He said: ‘He is a very good player when he is in his top level.
‘I am very fortunate to have trained him in my time at Dortmund. It was only one year, it should have been longer. I needed to leave and he decided to leave.’
The Chelsea head coach continued to admit that he is not in close contact with Dembele but did exchange some messages during his time in France.
‘From there we are not in closest contact, we met here and there because of his duties for the French national team and of course I was in Paris so this was more or less when they were preparing for national duties, it’s very close to Paris. This is where we met or exchanged some messages’.
