Dembele admits Spurs frustration

Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele has admitted that he has become frustrated at the lack of regular first-team football.

The Belgian international only managed to full games of 90 minutes in a Spurs shirt last season as Mauricio Pochettino has preferred to play with a holding pair of Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb.

Personally, I prefer to see Dembele playing in a more attacking role behind Harry Kane, he has the creativity we need to unlock a defence.

“I’ve played so few minutes, it is a big disappointment to me,” Dembele told Belgian outlet Sporza. “At one point I showed what I’ve got and I thought I took my chance, but as quickly again I fell out of the team.

“Do I get little credit at Tottenham? Yes, I have that feeling at times, but it is ultimately down to me. I have to stay positive. I am still confident.”
