Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele is reportedly heading to the Chinese Super League.
A leaked photo on Twitter appears to show that Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele has completed his reported move to Guangzhou R&F.
BBC Sport claimed a few days ago that the 31-year-old is set to complete an £11 million move to the Chinese Super League this month.
Now it seems as though that rumoured transfer could be nearing its completion or has been finalised as the Spurs star was pictured holding the shirt of Guangzhou R&F as a post on Twitter suggests.
Despite struggling for regular game time in recent seasons because of injuries, Dembele’s strength and ability to carry the ball in the middle of the park will be a big miss for Tottenham.
The Belgium international represented both Spurs and their London neighbours Fulham during his time in England’s top-flight, constantly showcasing his ability to win and keep the ball in midfield.
During his time in the Premier League, Dembele has played 243 matches, scoring 12 goals and supplying 15 assists as he played a deeper role for most of the time.
He will leave behind a Spurs team that is vying to win a trophy under their highly-rated coach this season as they are still in every domestic competition.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side will take on rivals Chelsea in the second leg of their League Cup semi-final later on this month, with Spurs holding a 1-0 lead.
