He was also on target in the 2-1 DFB Cup final win over Eintracht Frankfurt, which earned Borussia their first major trophy since 2012.

Dembele beat off competition from Schalke’s Nabil Bentaleb, Wolfsburg’s Riechedly Bazoer, Freiburg’s Caglar Söyüncü and Hertha Berlin’s Jordan Torunarigha to win the vote, which comprised the five 2017 winners of the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month award.

"Germany, when you're a young player, is the best," Dembele said in a recent interview with French football magazine L’Equipe. "There are lots of young talents here, and people have faith in them.

"Being in the first team [at Borussia Dortmund] allows me to get more and more experience. But I’m going to keep working."
