Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur need to buy a new midfielder to replace Mousa Dembele, who left the club to join Guangzhou R&F in the Chinese Super League in January.
Dembele was a crucial part of the Spurs team and their form has dipped considerably in the league during the second half of the campaign, with the departure of the 31-year-old halfway through the season being seen by many as a key reason behind the drop in performances and results.
Speaking on Sky Sports (as quoted by HITC), Redknapp claimed after Tottenham's defeat away at Bournemouth that, to get to the next level, they need to sign someone who can fill the void left by the Belgian in the middle of the park.
