Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele flattered by comparisons to Diego Maradona and Ronaldinho but insists his eye is on silverware: 'It's a good feeling, but there's so much to play for'

Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele is pleased to be earning praise from his manager but the Belgian says he wants to finish the season on a high and collect silverware.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino hailed Dembele a 'genius' and compared his ability with the likes of Diego Maradona and Ronaldinho after his dominant performance secured a 2-2 draw at Juventus in the Champions League last-16 tie.

Ahead of the second leg at Wembley on Wednesday, Dembele, who last won a league title with Dutch side AZ Alkmaar almost 10 years ago, said he would like to finish his career with a few more winners' medals.
