Dembele was a class player. He was simple and yet elegant. The Belgian wasn’t the type of player who could score a lot of goals or provide assists but he was the focal point in midfield.
He left the club last January to join Chinese Super League side Guangzhou after they paid £11 million for his services, as reported by BBC Sport.
While Dembele’s game time reduced towards the end of his Spurs career, he was still good enough to dictate the tempo of the game.
Cascarino feels that Dembele has been a ‘massive loss’ to Spurs, and that the decision to sell was ‘really weird’.
