Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele has hinted at international retirement after the World Cup.

The Belgium ace has just a year to run on his Spurs deal and his agents are in talks with clubs from Italy and China this month.

He told HLN: "It is possible that this is my last big tournament. It depends on the circumstances.

"I only want to cut the knot after the tournament. I have to listen to my body: it is possible that after the World Cup I feel that I can play two more tournaments. I do not know that yet. However, I can say that I do not see myself playing football with the national team for six years.

"So I must think about it."
