The most significant development for Tottenham Hotspur in midweek was Mousa Dembele getting back to his best.
Tottenham Hotspur had a perfect night on Wednesday as they sealed the signing of a Brazilian international and demolished Manchester United.
Lucas Moura has the potential to be a tremendous acquisition for Spurs, but even more important was Mousa Dembele’s return to form.
Dembele was dominant against Manchester United, back to the form which once saw Ian Wright describe him as a ‘monster’ in Tottenham’s midfield.
The Belgian has had a difficult 12 season so far, struggling badly with injuries, which subsequently affected his form and sparked several transfer rumours about how he would be replaced in the summer.
Dembele too was linked with an exit, with The Mail reporting AC Milan being keen.
Against United, Dembele managed 89 touches, winning three tackles, and even created three chances.
With Harry Winks now battling with injury, Dembele’s return to form has come at a crucial time ahead of a huge run of fixtures in the Premier League and Champions League.
Dembele being back on form can change Tottenham’s season for the better, and save them millions in the summer on a replacement.
Tottenham paid £25 million for Lucas Moura, but what price a fully fit and dominant Dembele on today’s market?
