Tottenham have agreed on an £11 million ($14m) fee with Chinese Super League outfit Guangzhou R&F for the transfer of Mousa Dembele.


The 31-year-old joined Spurs back in 2012 from Fulham and appeared 250 times for the club across all competitions, scoring 10 goals.

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.

The 31-year-old Belgium international had not played for Tottenham since November due to an ankle injury and had been chasing a move to China since the summer.

Tottenham made the decision to allow Dembele to leave now so they receive a transfer fee, with the player's contract set to expire at the end of the season.

Spurs had also accepted an offer from Beijing Sinobo, but the midfielder has opted for a move to Guangzhou, who finished 10th in the Chinese Super League last year.

Dembele joined Tottenham from Fulham in 2012 and played 250 times for the club, scoring ten goals, including on his debut against Norwich.
