Speaking before Tottenham's Premier League fixture with Crystal Palace, former player Graeme Souness insisted that Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele is the best player at the club.

Dembele has arguably been the driving force in their midfield this season and earned many plaudits for his mature and dominant performance in their recent 2-2 draw at Juventus in the Champions League.

So much so that Souness, who now works as a pundit for 'Sky Sports', believes that the 30-year-old is the best player at Tottenham despite Harry Kane grabbing all the headlines.

In fact, Kane scored Spurs' last-minute winner to take all three points in that Palace game which Souness was commentating on, but the former player maintained his opinion.

"The only thing missing in [Dembele's] game is he doeesn't score enough goals. He wrong-foots people, glides past people for fun, a wonderful talent. I know Harry [Kane] gets all the headlines and [Christian] Eriksen is a little craftsman as well but there's a real argument there".

He concluded: "I think if you asked Tottenham players who's the best player at the football club, I think maybe the majority might go for Dembele".
