Mousa Dembele signs Tottenham Hotspur contract extension

Mousa Dembele has signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur.

The Belgian midfielder, 28, has extended his previous deal, which was due to expire at the end of next season, by two years.

"The way we're playing, the way the club is developing, everything is very good and everyone wants to be part of this team and this club," Dembele told the club website.

"That's why I am proud to extend my contract."

Dembele has scored three goals in 18 Premier League appearances this season for Spurs, who are fourth in the table and just five points behind surprise leaders Leicester City.
