OPINION
Dembele’s performance against England seems to have really struck the hearts of Tottenham supporters, who were undoubtedly expressing their desire to see one of their prized assets stay at the club. The midfielder was excellent for Spurs last season, so it is easy to see why the Spurs faithful really do not want him to depart the club. Not only is he a fantastic addition to Tottenham, but also the Premier League, due to his skill and technical ability. Belgium are bound to go far in this World Cup with the amount of world-class players they have in the squad, and Dembele will continue to shine for them as they ease their way past Japan in the next round.
