According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele is ‘expected to be sold’ in January after so far failing to agree a contract extension. Manager Mauricio Pochettino identified Fred to be his replacement, but the Brazilian midfielder opted to join Manchester United from Shakhtar Donetsk instead.
Dembele joined Spurs from Fulham in 2012 and has gone on to make 239 appearances in all competitions. The 31-year-old has been a key player under Pochettino, but his future with the Londoners is up in the air. His contract expires next summer and Dembele has yet to sign an extension, which may force Spurs into replacing him.
