Mousa Dembele looks set to leave Tottenham this summer with plenty of Italian sides interested in the Belgian, but would selling him be Pochettino’s biggest mistake?
It’s not often you get a player that every single fan loves and every single player appreciates, but Mousa Dembele has been exactly that for Tottenham in recent years.
The wiry midfielder doesn’t fill out the stats columns in terms of goals and assists, but his impact on Pochettino’s young Tottenham side is almost immeasurable, and it seems bizarre that he’s seemingly being allowed to walk out the door.
The 30 year-old has just one year left on his contract, and Inter Milan have now reportedly joined AC Milan, Napoli and Juventus in the race to secure his services.
While the midfielder is bound to feel the effects of his age at some point, he is a superb athlete, and the fact that four top Italian teams are all battling it out for his signature shows just how highly rated he is.

Spurs are likely to get upwards of £20m for the fan favourite, which is good business for a player entering the last 12 months of his contract, but Daniel Levy should be offering the player whatever he wants to stay in North London for another couple of years.
With plenty of attention on the possible departure of Toby Alderweireld, not enough is being made of Dembele’s probable exit, which could prove to be Pochettino’s biggest mistake as Tottenham manager if he doesn’t get a top class replacement in.
So, Spurs fans, do you think it’s mistake to sell Dembele this summer? Or is it time to cash in and move on? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below…
