It came as a surprise to many Spurs fans when it was announced that Dembele was leaving. He might be 31 years old but was still performing consistently in the Tottenham midfield, earning a place in the first team, week in, week out. His contract was due to expire in the summer, but with him being a key player in the Spurs line-up, it seemed likely that he would be kept on.

Dembele agreed to a deal with Guangzhou R&F and will spend the next couple of years there, aiming to win the title by the end of it. There's no doubt that he will be an asset to the side, and is sure to appreciate how much slower the league's football will be compared to that of the Premier League.
