Why Dembele quit Tottenham

Mousa Dembele left Tottenham for the Chinese Super League because he wanted “something different” and he is “open-minded”, the midfielder has revealed.

The Belgian ditched Spurs for Guangzhou R&F in January after six-and-a-half years in North London.

“I’m a social guy. I’m not too serious. I don’t like to be too serious. I think off the pitch I can have a laugh with everyone,” the 31-year-old said when asked about his move.

“I like to see myself as open-minded. That is one of the reasons I wanted to come to China. I wanted to see something different.

“I wanted to have a different experience in life. I heard already there is good food in Guangzhou. I will try this a lot. I think my family will enjoy it as well here.”
