Graham Roberts reacts on Twitter to Mousa Dembele retirement update
Tottenham Hotspur legend Graham Roberts has sent a classy message to Mousa Dembele on Twitter following the news that the midfielder will retire at the end of his current contract.
It appeared that Dembele was set to retire immediately. that the 34-year-old was ready to call time on his career.
Dembele left Tottenham for China in 2019. that he has one year left on his contract with Guangzhou City. However, it was suggested that he was planning to try and agree an early end to his deal.
Dembele that he intends to retire from football when his contract expires at the end of the 2022 season.
Nevertheless, Dembele has received a lot of love on social media as the end of his playing days looms.
One of those to send a message to Dembele was Roberts. The Tottenham hero suggested that the midfielder was one of the very best he had seen play for Spurs down the years…
happy retirement to a spurs legend and one of the very best I have seen at spurs. Wish you well a great player and a great man.

Tottenham still yet to find replacement for Mousa Dembele
Dembele was a player Tottenham fans always loved. But he also seemed to be so good that they still do not quite realise just how important he was until after his departure.
Admittedly, his game-time started to drop off before his exit. But it appears fair to say that Tottenham have not yet managed to find a replacement for Dembele.
Their midfield has improved this season. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been a good signing. Oliver Skipp has been a revelation since returning. And Harry Winks has improved since Antonio Conte was appointed.
The arrival of Rodrigo Bentancur could also be an incredibly smart move.
But Tottenham have had no choice but to adapt since losing Dembele, with finding a replacement proving to be an impossible task.
