Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to some quotes from former midfielder Christian Eriksen regarding Mousa Dembele.
During a recent Instagram Q and A session with Danish radio station DR Sporten, the 28-year-old was asked who the best player he has ever played with was. He replied, saying (via TranSPURS): “It’s a tough one. I feel like I’ve been lucky in my career so far. But I have to say Mousa Dembele”.
Dembele was at Spurs between 2012 and 2019, whilst Eriksen was there between 2013 and 2020, so they clearly spent a lot of time together at the club and it seems as though the Belgian midfielder made a big impact on the Danish international. Although the former Ajax man faced a lot of criticism from fans during his Inter transfer saga, his comments look to have delighted the vast majority of Spurs fans on Twitter.

These Spurs fans are clearly happy with the quotes from Eriksen and seem to agree that the current side is missing someone of Dembele’s ilk.
What do we think?
Dembele looks to have made a huge impression on fans and players during his time at the club and perhaps the Lilywhites were too hasty to let him leave in January 2019.
