Tottenham man Dembele starred at the World Cup for Belgium this summer.
Kyle Walker has told Unscriptd, as quoted by his official Twitter account, that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele is the best dribbler of the ball he has ever seen.
Manchester City defender and Premier League champion Walker played alongside Dembele for five years at Tottenham after the Belgian joined the club from Fulham in the summer of 2012.
Walker eventually left Spurs last summer to join Pep Guardiola’s City, where he helped his new club win the Premier League and the Carabao Cup while Spurs and Dembele remain trophy-less under Mauricio Pochettino.
The England defender was asked to pick his best five-a-side team he has played with, and chose Ederson in goal, John Stones in defence, Dembele and David Silva in midfield and Sergio Aguero up front.
On Dembele, Walker said: “He’s probably the best dribbler I’ve seen to date.”
Dembele, 31, has clocked up a huge 239 league and cup appearances for Spurs since joining the club five years ago, but his long-term future under Pochettino is in doubt.
Indeed, the former AZ Alkmaar ace has entered the final year of his contract at Spurs, and was linked with moves to Italy and the Chinese Super League before August 9’s deadline passed.
Dembele and Walker will go face to face in just under two months, as Spurs play host to Guardiola’s side on October 28.
