Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele has turned down a move to Inter Milan in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported that Dembele will assess all his options after he returns from the World Cup in Russia, and will even consider running down his contract and leaving for free next summer if he does get the right deal this time around.

The British tabloid has also claimed that Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will listen to offers for the 30-year-old Belgium international midfielder, who earns £55,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com.

Exit inevitable?

Dembele is one of the best midfielders on the books of Tottenham at the moment, but there have been fitness issues.

With Spurs having players such as Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama to call upon in midfielder, the Belgian will find it hard to play regularly for Spurs next season.

However, it would not make much sense for Dembele to leave for a club where he is not going to get regular playing time, or a team who are not as ambitious as Tottenham are.
