Tottenham fans have finally accepted it’s time for Mousa Dembele to move on, after the midfielder struggled massively in his country’s 1-0 loss to France on Tuesday.

The Dembele exit story has been an emotional rollercoaster for Spurs fans, but his performance on Tuesday may be the final nail in the coffin of his career in North London.

The 30 year-old, rated at £16.2m by Transfermarkt, is a fan favourite and for good reason. He is strong, passionate, a great teammate and simply impossible to dispossess with the ball. He is an essential cog in linking defence and attack for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

On the other hand though, his physical and combative play style requires incredible fitness, and there are concerns about him consistently keeping his top form as he enters his thirties.

The Belgian beast has been linked with moves away for as much as £30m, and getting that sort of money for a player entering the last 12 months of his contract would be staggering business from Daniel Levy.

Fans were leaning towards keeping him after he dominated England in the group stage, but he looked a step behind everyone else in Belgium’s semi-final defeat to France, and fans are now regretfully accepting it’s time to move on.
