Dembele flies out

Football.London reports that Mousa Dembele has left England ahead of his move to China. The report suggests he flew to Hong Kong from Heathrow this morning in order to complete his move to Beijing Guoan.

The Belgian has reportedly decided to join a less demanding league in order to prolong his career after a series of chronic injury problems.

No doubt every Tottenham fan will be wishing the popular midfield star all the best in his new home.

Llorente linked

Fernando Llorente is reportedly one of the strikers shortlisted as an option by Barcelona. The Catalan giants are looking for back-up options in the striker position after selling Munir El Haddadi to Sevilla.

Mundo Deportivo claims that the Tottenham back-up could be brought in on an 18-month deal from Spurs.

He is well regarded with Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde whilst many of the players know him from Spain national duties.

Serie A trio

Italian site InterLive has suggested Tottenham are looking at three separate Serie A midfielders as potential Dembele replacements.

The trio of Blaise Matuidi, Sami Khedira and Matias Vecino are all reportedly targets for the summer.

All three would be huge investments, so it is hard to see Tottenham making such moves.
