Tottenham supporters love what Danny Rose has said about Mousa Dembele

Danny Rose's comments about Mousa Dembele has prompted a big response from Tottenham Hotspur supporters.

The 29-year-old, who is spending the second half of the season on loan at fellow Premier League outfit Newcastle United, has been discussing the best players he's played alongside.

Harry Kane - a teammate at his parent club as well as at international level with England - and former teammate in Luka Modric both get a mention, but neither top Rose's list.

Instead that spot is reserved for Dembele who swapped north London for China during last January's transfer window when he joined Guangzhou R&F.

"I've played with the likes of Luka Modric," he said. "There’s also Harry Kane.

"But if I had to pick one it would be Moussa Dembele.

"Honestly, he's unreal."

Whilst Rose's pick might have come as a surprise to many, it's been greatly received by a number of Spurs fans on social media.

Speaking about his move to China late last year, Dembele said it's a transfer he doesn't regret.

"When I came to the club they were all laughing," he told BBC Sport. "But people who know me know I never regret my choices. It's a shame for me but I didn't regret it for one second.

"I was very happy for Tottenham because they deserved it and no-one works harder than them," he said. "As players they are very good guys so you want them to succeed."
