Spurs accept £9m Dembele bid from Chinese Super League club Beijing Guoan
Belgian international - who is out of contract this summer - has not played since November after struggling with injury
TOTTENHAM ace Mousa Dembele is closing in on a Chinese Super League move after Spurs accepted a £9million bid for him.
Beijing Guoan are close to finalising a deal with Spurs for the Belgian international as they try to seal a January swoop.
Dembele, 31, has not played since injuring his ankle in November and has been placed on the chopping block.
Spurs have plenty of midfielders in their squad and are looking to cash in while they still can.
Playmaker Dembele arrived at Tottenham from Fulham in 2012 and has made 242 appearances for the club - scoring ten times.
The former AZ star has won 80 Belgium caps in a 13-year international career.
Spurs have not signed a player since last January and could go a second consecutive window without reinforcements.
Mauricio Pochettino admitted new arrivals would be difficult in the notoriously tricky winter market.
