Mousa Dembele has heaped praise on a former Tottenham teammate, naming him as one of the best players he played alongside during his career.
Mousa Dembele is one ex-Spurs man who has often been described as underrated by several Tottenham players and footballers in general.
Morgan Gibbs-White, who never played with Dembele, had the Tottenham man in his top two ‘street will never forget’ players in the Premier League.
Alex Iwobi went as far as to call Dembele the toughest opponent he has faced, stating that the Belgian is even tougher than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Mousa Dembele praises former Tottenham striker Harry Kane
Of course, Tottenham are currently in dire need of a midfield destroyer in the mould of Mousa Dembele.
And with Dembele having dominated the five-a-side baller league a few days ago, Spurs might well be tempted to look his way again, even in retirement.
While the Belgian is often on the receiving end of praise, he has now returned the favour to one of his former teammates during a conversation on TikTok with Rubyn Singh Gill.

When asked to name the best player he had played with, Dembele highlighted former Tottenham striker Harry Kane as a ‘quality’ footballer he thoroughly enjoyed playing alongside.
He said: “I played with players like Kevin De Bruyne, Hazard, Harry Kane and even more good players.”
“I think Kevin was [the best], even Harry Kane. I loved Harry as well. Different players, they all had their charm and their quality, so it is difficult to compare Kevin with Harry. But they are crazy players.”
Why Harry Kane remains a standout figure at Spurs
Of course, Kane is a Tottenham legend and an elite-level footballer, one capable of doing it all on the football pitch.
Not only was the England captain capable of finding the back of the net, he also had an eye for a pass, often setting up his teammates, particularly Heung-min Son.
