What’s the latest?

da bet esporte： The Belgian international’s future has dominated the transfer gossip pages in recent weeks as another contract situation at Tottenham makes waves.

It seems that the newspaper columns have taken a break from the stalemate that is Toby Alderweireld’s contract talks to focus on Dembele.

The Telegraph claims that the midfielder wants a three-year extension on his deal, but Tottenham are reluctant.

The former Fulham player’s current deal expires at the end of next season, which means that if he penned fresh terms, he would be 35 years old when the extension comes to an end.

The report adds that any deal is likely to increase the player’s wages from £80,000 to around £100,000 per week.

Are Tottenham right to be wary?

Chairman Daniel Levy is a shrewd businessman and will not be jumping at the thought of paying out a huge salary for an ageing footballer.

It is also worth taking into account Dembele’s problems with injuries, of which he has suffered numerous times over the last few campaigns.

This season, the midfielder spent just over a month on the sidelines with an ankle problem, and in the 2015-16 campaign, he had a handful of ankle and foot injuries.

Having said that, Dembele has been an integral part of Mauricio Pochettino’s team, and allowing him to leave would not make sense.

The club will enter a new era this summer when they move into a state-of-the-art stadium, so they need all their best players alongside them.
