Spurs midfielder Dembele was happy with Real Madrid talk

Moussa Dembele is determined to prove his value at Tottenham.

Earlier this season, QPR chief Les Ferdinand revealed that, during their time at Tottenham, he and former boss Tim Sherwood had told Dembele he was good enough to play for Real Madrid.

"It's a big compliment, of course, and everyone in this team wants to be at the top of his game but I'm not thinking about other things," said Dembele.

"With this manager, training is very different from what we're used to. It's much harder but that's a good thing for us. It's easier to develop and become a better player.

"I know I can do better. We played well against Arsenal but we can all do better because we have a lot of talent and a lot of experience. We have everything here.
