$1 Billion Attack? France Boasts Scoring Depth Other World Cup Teams Only Dream Of

France will have rich depth in attack at the World Cup.

About a billion dollars' worth.

The 20-year-old Doué has three years left on his PSG contract and is valued at around 115 million compared to 100 million euros for Dembélé, who has two
