Dembele had not featured for Mauricio Pochettino's men since November after sustaining an ankle injury, with a move to China mooted ever since the summer transfer window. With his original contract set to expire at the end of the current season, Tottenham have elected to let the midfielder leave ahead of schedule in order to collect a fee for his services. The Belgian playmaker has earned 82 caps at international level over the course of his career and he played a key role for Roberto Martinez's side during their run to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.

No fight left Swinging below the cliff Right beneath the moonlight Taking no care that it was soon midnight Not the least eager to go down the rocks Not to return to the silent street with its revealing lights Everything seemed to throw its darts They stung like a clear blood trickled Not hinting to where it hurts At the door of escape to reality The last dart had me perfectly ambushed Searching desperately For the tiniest spark to influence my path Taking a final breath, I exclaim "No fight left in me". From no where in the middle of the sea I gasped for air take me to the land Grabbed from the waves feeling my feet touch the ground. I crawled to lay in peace. Peering curiously at the face Wondering anxiously if fate has called it away Breathing harder as the realization dawned The sikly hair swishing off the floor Emerald eyes lost in the environment I exclaim " There's still fight left in you.'
Be active Be healthy Be happy Live everyday of your life with happiness Life is a market. You can get whatever you want if you can pay the price. And when its time, you leave Don't spend time on what you cant change If you appear before your time,  you will disappear before your arrival Don't make a mistake of substituting what you have for what you need. Keep what you have,  work for what you need If you need a shoulder to cry on,  you need to prepare that shoulder ahead of time. It's much less about the number of friends we have and more about our perception of and satisfaction with the social support we receive. Forgiveness is choosing to accept what happened as it happened rather than what could or should have happened. There are as many perceptions as there are people in this world so people can't always see life the way we see it
Little to pay (Now) She says she sees me coming again I seem to see her fading away She thinks I have so much to say I'm sorry but I have little to pay (Before) When I looked her way she moved away But I saw her fame all in her head  I looked away and knew she moved her way Where it will all end I would rather not say (Soon) With nothing in her hand as something in her way She would tell them I led her astray And when they come demanding her name I'll say to them I have nothing to pay
NEVER AGAIN It wasn't once or twice You were all games and lies Thinking of acting all blind I told myself I wouldn't mind. There wasn't one emotion you could find You weren't just unwise I wasn't just as nice So I looked the other way Not thinking of the other day I guess I knew what you might say Until I suddenly thought to make my way No longer will I hide my fear Not under the long face I wear I hid from you yesterday To walk in fear  today But I confront you today To kill my fears for tomorrow And now I don't have to see you. Never again That's all the sympathy I have to remain.

Don't judge until you're perfect

Thing about judging is; you might not even realize that you tend to judge other people. But when it's us at the receiving end, things suddenly become unfair, isn't it? Life becomes wicked, doesn't it?  Only remember this one thing;  "Judging is acting on a limited knowledge. Learn the act of observing without evaluating- Pushpa Rana
