Mousa Dembele is one of the best players for Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino rates midfielder Mousa Dembele highly and, as quoted by Goal.com last month, has called him “a genius of football”.
It is quite high praise indeed for Dembele, who has been on the books of Tottenham since the summer of 2012 when he joined from Fulham for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Mail to be worth £15 million.
The Belgium international, who earns £80,000 per week as salary according to The Daily Star, has now responded to those comments from Pochettino.
Dembele told Football.London: “I’m very happy about this compliment. It’s a bit difficult to focus too much on that, because after all you have to perform every week and you need to be focused for the next game and if I will always think about this compliment it’s not always good. But obviously it’s a big compliment.”
Quality footballer
Dembele is one of the best midfielders in the current Tottenham squad, and his performances in recent weeks have been very encouraging.
The Belgium international is an all-round midfielder who always gives his best on the pitch and will be important for the team in the final weeks of the season.
According to The Sun, Dembele is set to open talks with Tottenham over a new contract and wants to get a salary close to £100,000 per week.
