Could Spurs be waving goodbye to a key player in the summer?

Well, reports certainly suggest that.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are on course to book a spot in next seasons Champions League, and he's eyeing up new talent while looking to trim his current squad ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.

And one player who could be on his way out of the North London club is Mousa Dembele.

According to Daily Mirror, Spurs are prepared to offload the Belgium midfielder. He'll have just 12 months to run on his contract once this seasons concludes.

Dembele has been superb for Spurs. He produced heroics in the North London derby as well as versus Manchester United, and is subsequently attracting interest from China.

It's believed clubs in the Chinese Super League were eyeing up his services in the January transfer window.

While he's been a key component of Pochettino's set-up, it's suggested that he could cash in on the midfielder.

When Spurs signed Dembele in 2012, it left then-United boss Sir Alex Ferguson very envious.

According to sources from Goal: "Ferguson feels Mousa Dembele - who signed for Spurs for £15m - will prove to be a bargain and has privately hailed the move as fantastic business for the north London club."

Meanwhile, further reports suggest Spurs are keeping tabs on Barcelona's Andre Gomes, who's failed to impress at the Camp Nou since his transfer from Valencia.

Not to mention Atalanta's Bryan Cristante.

Will Spurs get rid of Dembele and snap up either Gomes or Cristante? Watch this space.
