Ousmane Dembele (Borussia Dortmund) named Bundesliga Rookie of the 2016/17 season!

Borussia Dortmund starlet Ousmane Dembele prevailed against his competitors to win the inaugural Bundesliga Rookie of the 2016/17 season award.

After winning the February 2017 Rookie of the Month award, Dembele has now also won the overall vote against first-leg winner Nabil Bentaleb (FC Schalke 04), March winner Riechedly Bazoer (VfL Wolfsburg), April winner Caglar Söyüncü (SC Freiburg), and May winner Jordan Torunarigha (Hertha BSC).

20 year old Dembele joined Dortmund last summer from French Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes and he impressed in his first season in the Bundesliga making 32 appearances and scoring 6 goals with numerous assists.

Swiss luxury watch brand TAG Heuer, the official partner and official timekeeper of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga2, has come together with the German league to launch the Bundesliga Rookie Award by TAG Heuer. TAG Heuer is thereby not only lending its name to the new award, but also taking the initiative to recognise the skill of up-and-coming players at an early stage.
