Youri Tielemans would be an ideal replacement for Mousa Dembele at Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur should look to sign Youri Tielemans in the January transfer window.

The highly-rated Belgian midfielder has had a decent-but-not-spectacular campaign since £21.6 million move from Anderlecht in 2017.

The 21-year-old carved his way into the Belgium national team recently and played alongside Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele against Scotland.

He said after the match: “In the match against Scotland I was very happy with Mousa Dembele. Whether we will kick off against Iceland again, I leave it to the national coach.”

Dembele, who is on £55k-per-week wages at the north London club, has been a key player for Spurs since he joined the north London club from Fulham in 2012.
