'Underrated' Mousa Dembele admits Tottenham Hotspur frustrations

Mousa Dembele has cast doubt on his Tottenham Hotspur future after revealing that he feels underrated by Mauricio Pochettino, having struggled for game time last term.

The Belgian midfielder started a total of 18 games in a season that the 27-year-old claims was a "big disappointment" to him due to a lack of first-team chances.

Earlier on Friday, Dembele said that he is seeking talks with Pochettino before deciding his future, having been linked with a move to Chelsea earlier this month.

He told Belgian publication Sporza: "I've played so few minutes, it is a big disappointment to me.

"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."

Dembele, whose contract expires in 2017, joined Spurs in 2012 from Fulham.
