Former Tottenham and Fulham midfielder Mousa Dembele 'retires from football aged just 34' after rejecting a contract extension offer at Guangzhou FC in China, as he plans to 'spend more time with his family'

Former Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele appears to have retired from football aged just 34, with reports claiming that he has decided to reject a contract extension from Chinese club Guangzhou FC.

There has been no formal announcement from the player or his camp, but HLN in Belgium have said that Dembele has returned home to Antwerp with his young children, and plans to spend more time with them.

It is believed that he could have penned an extension to continue his career but, for now at least, the ex-Spurs favourite looks to have hung up his boots.
