The 31-year-old is letting his Tottenham contract run down to the end of this season and is approaching the final bumper contract of his career.

And claim it could be French principality that offers him his whopping final payday.

This season the box-to-box ace has started just seven Premier League games and been subbed off in five of those.

The three times he started on the bench for Mauricio Pochettino he was sent on but he has fallen down the pecking order.

Central midfielders like 22-year-old Harry Winks and 24-year-old Eric Dier have moved ahead of him in the White Hart Lane rankings.

Poch once labelled Dembele a “genius” for his ball skills and vision, often making the game seem effortless.

But he admitted in his most recent comment on Dembele’s future that it was down to chairman Daniel Levy to decide.

He said: “That is down to Daniel. What do you think Daniel is going to do?”
