Dembele is one of the best and most important players in the current Tottenham team, and his comments will delight the fans.

The former Fulham midfielder has struggled with fitness this season and has been able to play just four times in the Premier League for Tottenham so far this campaign.

With Spurs aiming to win the league title and progress to the last 16 of the Champions League, Dembele needs to return to his best as soon as possible.

Tottenham are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 21 points from 11 matches, five points behind leaders Liverpool.
