'He's freaking amazing!' - Balogun hails Dortmund's Dembele

Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembele has been labelled as "freaking amazing" by Mainz defender Leon Balogun following Saturday's Bundesliga clash.

The 19-year-old Dembele, who signed from Rennes for a reported €15million at the end of last season, made his first appearance in the German top flight as Thomas Tuchel's side sealed a 2-1 win thanks to a double from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

"This Dembele kid is unbelievable," he said. "I said during the game to Aubameyang: 'Woah! What kid did you buy there?'

"He's freaking amazing, unbelievable. I don't know how old he is - 18, 19?

"He's so calm, very skillful, his speed is unbelievable. So congrats to Dortmund for getting that kind of player.

"I think they will have a lot of fun with him. He has a great future ahead."
