Ousmane Dembélé is enjoying a sensational season with Paris Saint-Germain, surpassing club legends in goal-scoring efficiency and shot attempts.
According to data from Opta, relayed by L’Équipe, the French winger currently boasts the best goal-per-minute ratio of any PSG player during the Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) era, outperforming stars such as Kylian Mbappé, Edinson Cavani, and Zlatan Ibrahimović.
Dembélé’s stunning goal-scoring form
The 26-year-old has been in electric form this season, finding the net 28 times across all competitions.
Since the start of 2025, he has scored 20 goals, accumulating a total of 2,290 minutes on the pitch.
This translates to a remarkable 1.1 goals per 90 minutes, a figure that places him ahead of Ibrahimović’s 1.09 goals per 90 minutes from the 2015-16 season, and even above Mbappé’s most prolific campaigns.
Dembélé’s efficiency has been key to PSG’s dominance both domestically and in Europe, with his goals coming at crucial moments.
His ability to convert chances at such a rate highlights his growing influence in Luis Enrique’s attacking setup.
Leading in shot attempts
The former Barcelona forward has not only been clinical in front of goal but has also proven to be PSG’s most ambitious shooter.
He is averaging 5.5 shots per 90 minutes, a higher rate than Ibrahimović (5.3 shots per 90 minutes in 2015-16) and Mbappé during his best goal-scoring seasons.
His confidence was once again on display last weekend when he scored against Rennes, the club where he developed as a youth player.
That goal further cemented his standing as PSG’s most in-form forward, even as speculation continues around Mbappé’s future departure from the club.
A new star at the Parc des Princes?
While Mbappé remains PSG’s all-time leading goal-scorer, Dembélé’s recent form suggests that he is emerging as a new attacking leader for the club.
His statistics indicate a level of efficiency and consistency that few PSG forwards have ever matched.
With the Champions League knockout stages and the final stretch of Ligue 1 approaching, Dembélé will be crucial to PSG’s pursuit of silverware.
If he maintains his record-breaking form, he could well establish himself as the club’s main attacking force, particularly with Mbappé’s future uncertain.
For now, the numbers are clear—Ousmane Dembélé is enjoying the best season of his career, surpassing even the most celebrated forwards in PSG’s history.
