Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele is reportedly on the radar of Beijing Guoan.

According to The Daily Mail, Beijing Guoan are interested in signing Mousa Dembele from Tottenham Hotspur in the January transfer window.

It has been reported that the Chinese club have opened talks with Tottenham regarding the transfer of the former Fulham midfielder.

The report has also claimed that Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has made the 31-year-old available for sale this month.

With Dembele’s current contract with Tottenham running out at the end of the season, it does make sense for Spurs to cash in on the midfielder.

After all, the 31-year-old has struggled for playing time so far this season and has also had injury concerns.

For Dembele himself, a move to China at the age of 31 will be brilliant from a financial point of view.

True, leaving for the Premier League for the Chinese top flight will be a massive step down football-wise, financially the midfielder will be boosted.

Tottenham are doing well without Dembele at the moment, and one suspects that the North London outfit are not going to miss the Belgian if he leaves this month.
