For Anelka, he's delighted seeing Dembele silence his critics. He told RMC: "I'm happy for him.
"He has been criticised for his statistics, now he shows that he has worked and persevered. He scores a lot of goals and I hope that this path continues to take PSG as far as possible."
Dembele started in the 7-0 Champions League rout of Brest this week, but wasn't on the scoresheet.
