Tottenham Hotspur demand at least £15 million transfer fee for Mousa Dembele as West Ham and Sunderland target Belgian midfielder.

When West Ham signed Dimitri Payet from Marseille at the start of transfer window, few would have seen that coming. But with TV rights money, nothing seems impossible in Premier League transfer window.

Stoke City’s announcement to sign Xherdan Shaqiri and Newcastle signing Georgini Wijnaldum are just another part of the long list where Premier League clubs in bottom half signing World Class players. When Yohan Cabaye choose to swap relegation threatened Crystal Palace for French Champions Paris Saint Germain, the quality of Premier League was sure to rise. Such has been the environment that Spurs have put a price tag of £15 million to Mousa Dembele, who was behind Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb in the pecking order last season and they still cant take a relief breathe as clubs are prepared to take the move.

Spurs have not signed any midfielder despite the exit of three central midfielders and could sign some. Pochettino has cleared up that the Belgian International is going nowhere and will up the asking price to fend off the interest from fellow Premier League clubs.
