Former Tottenham star Christian Eriksen says Mousa Dembele is the best player he has played with, according to DR Sporten, and his opinion was shared by @TranSPURS. 

Speaking to the Danish outlet via an Instagram Q&A, the midfielder went on to talk about a number of topics, including how he is coping with life in Italy during the pandemic, as well as playing in Serie A for Antonio Conte's Inter Milan.

After being asked to give his opinion on his best teammate so far, Eriksen said: "It's a tough one. I feel like I've been lucky in my career so far. But I have to say Mousa Dembele."

The former Belgian international moved to White Hart Lane from Fulham for £17.1m back in the summer of 2012, going on to make over 240 appearances for Spurs, scoring 10 goals and creating 12 assists in all competitions. Dembele notably won the Eredivisie with Dutch side AZ Alkmaar and his current market value is rated at just £3.15m per Transfermarkt.

He finally left North London last year for Chinese Super League side Guangzhou R&F, although it seems plenty of Lilywhites still have lots of fond memories about the 32-year-old.

Unsurprisingly, loads of fans gushed over Eriksen's comments about Dembele, with one fan tweeting he is "irreplaceable," and another adding he is "your favorite player's favorite player."
