Tottenham’s best XI after 11 Premier League matches

CDM – Mousa Dembele

Mousa Dembele is one of the most underrated players in the Premier League, and it’s no surprise that Spurs play better when they’ve got a fully fit Dembele on the pitch.

He was outstanding against Arsenal at the Emirates last weekend, and gave Pochettino’s side more control in the second half, which led to a decent spell from Spurs and one they could have scored the winner in.

The Belgium international can do everything demanded of a defensive midfielder. He’s strong, excellent in the tackle, can retain the ball, and launch attacks, but it’s the fact that he keeps everything simple, and isn’t afraid to travel with the ball under pressure which is most impressive.

A great player and one that, if he can stay fit, can seriously help Spurs achieve success this season.
