Mousa Dembele has no intentions of leaving Tottenham this summer.

The Belgian midfielder was recently linked with a possible move to Sunderland but according to a report in theChronicle, that speculation has already been dealt with.

A source close to Dembele has reportedly said that the 28-year-old would rather stay at White Hart Lane and fight for his spot in Mauricio Pochettino's line-up than leave to join the Black Cats.

Former Fulham star Dembele emerged as a Sunderland target over the weekend but already that rumour has been hosed down as then summer transfer merry-go-round continues.
