Mauricio Pochettino has hailed Tottenham midfielder as ‘one of the unbelievable talents in the history of football’.
The Belgium international has been in fine form for Spurs in recent weeks and bowled over fans, pundits and the press with two commanding displays against Arsenal and Juventus.
Last year, Pochettino named Dembele among the five best players he had even seen on a football field.
And the Spurs boss was quick to point out he was right all along, following the renewed praise of the 30-year-old.
"I told you he was a genius,” the Spurs boss said on Friday.
