Ousmane Dabo (born 8 February 1977 in Laval) is a French football midfielder. After interest from a variety of premiership clubs in 2006 Dabo signed for Manchester City. He told the clubs official website that I'm very happy because I had many offers from other clubs, but I chose Manchester City because it's a very big club with a big history. I played against City in a friendly here two years ago for Lazio, and when I saw how the fans were here, I was in love!. He also said that he really enjoyed being here then, and I was excited when the Club contacted me. I thought the stadium was beautiful as well. Commenting on manager Stuart Pearce he said He was a famous player and I know a lot about him, but I spoke with him and I could tell that he wanted me to come here. He has seen me play and it was important for me to know that he was interested in me. Now I know that I have to prove my value to the team.
