The Belgian midfielder is aiming to remain among the goals for Spurs as his side look to take another step towards qualifying for the knockout rounds

Mousa Dembele is determined to maintain his goalscoring form for Tottenham as they look to take a step towards the Europa League knockout rounds against Anderlecht on Thursday.

The Belgium midfielder followed a goal against AFC Bournemouth with the opener in Spurs' 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Monday.

That victory extended their unbeaten league run to 10 matches, but their Europa League league form leaves much to be desired, with a 2-1 loss to Anderlecht on matchday three leaving them third in Group J.

And Dembele is eager to transfer his domestic form to the continental stage to help Spurs' bid to qualify for the last 32.

"I'm happy with my form, but I think I can improve much more," he told the club's official website.

"I hadn't played for a long time until a couple of weeks ago – a month and a half – but I feel like I've started to get fitter.
