Spurs fans on Twitter have been discussing some footage of on-loan Newcastle United man Danny Rose after he suggested Mousa Dembele was one of the best players ever.
The 29-year-old featured in an Instagram Live video and went on to describe the Belgian midfielder, saying (via The Spurs Web): “Nah, Mousa Dembele is the best, like ever. It’s like ridiculous. It’s hard to explain but he’s the best.”
The England international left Spurs to join Newcastle United on loan in the January transfer window after a reported fall-out with Jose Mourinho, but he looks to have earned a lot of praise from Spurs fans after his latest comments on Dembele. The Belgian made 249 appearances for the Lilywhites during his time with the North London club; although regular injury problems perhaps led to a premature departure in January last year.
Do you agree with the quotes from Rose?

Most underrated player because he didn’t produce goals or assists. But if you just watch him play and understand football you know that he is one of the best ever?

Some Spurs fans clearly appreciated the comments from Rose and seem to agree that Dembele was up there with the best, though some supporters aimed their replies at Rose.
What do we think?
Dembele is clearly held in high regard by Spurs players and fans alike and it is a shame that he struggled so much with injuries in his final few years with the North London club.
