Tottenham and Belgium midfielder Moussa Dembele touched down in China on Monday, January 14 as he looks to seal his exit from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.
But, who is he going to sign with? Nobody knows!
Reports initially linked Dembele to northern side, Beijing Guo'an. However, contradictory reports saying that he would sign with Guangzhou R&F for GBP11 million have also surfaced in the past 24 hours.
Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur initially tweeted out that Dembele was headed for Guangzhou R&F, not Beijing Guo'an, though it appears that Terreur has edited that tweet to say that he is simply heading towards Guangzhou.

Guangzhou R&F finished in 10th place in the CSL in 2018, while Beijing Guo'an managed a fourth place finish, earning qualification to the Asian Champions League in the process.
Meanwhile Dembele's club information on Wikipedia has already been updated to say that he has joined Guangzhou R&F. The update, however, is missing some crucial citations confirming the transfer. We guess only time will tell.
Tottenham fans on Twitter are seemingly distraught at the idea of the strong center midfielder leaving the club. Dembele’s silky dribbling skills have earned him many fans, not just in North London, but throughout England during his seven years at the club.

Dembele completed a move from Fulham FC to Tottenham in 2012. He has spent almost seven seasons at the club, earning a total of 249 caps, while scoring ten goals. However, he has made just 13 appearances for the club this season and has stated that the energetic style of play in the Premier League is wearing on his body.
