Dembele deal to Tottenham off

 

Moussa Dembele's move to Tottenham from Fulham is off, according to Sky Sports.

 

Spurs appeared to be in pole position to sign the youngster before the close of the winter transfer window, with a deal supposedly close to completion.

 

However, on Sunday evening, reports now suggest the deal has been pulled.

 

Fulham were keen to retain the services of Dembele until the end of the season in their bid to stave off relegation, but Spurs were hopeful of him coming straight into the senior side to provide competition and back up to Harry Kane.

It remains to be seen whether Spurs will try for his signature before the transfer window slams shut for the 19-year-old, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

 

The teenager has netted nine goals and registered a further two assists for Fulham in the Championship this season.
