Fulham attacker Mousa Dembele is looking forward to testing himself against Tottenham.

If Fulham are to head into the international break with their tails up, they will have to overcome a Spurs side packed full of world class performers. Dembele for one, is clearly relishing the challenge that awaits.

"I like to challenge myself and compare myself with the best," Dembele explained to fulhamfc.com. "They [Spurs] have a lot of great players there - it's not only Bale. I like to challenge myself against a big team like that. Tottenham have big players, and I prefer that.

"I think the best players in the world learn something from everybody because you cannot be born with everything. Even Messi may look at a player who plays in League 1 or something and if he does something on his own then yes you can learn from him.

"If I see someone who does something good, even if it is Bale, I look at it and try to learn something from it for sure."
