“The Belgium midfielder joined us from Fulham in August, 2012, and scored on his debut three days later against Norwich City.
“He established himself as a key player in our starting XI and went on to make 250 appearances in total, scoring ten goals.
Mousa has been capped 82 times for Belgium and was part of the Red Devils’ squad that finished third at the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia.
“We wish Mousa all the best for the future.”
Moussa Dembele also took the time to say goodbye to Tottenham supporters with a farewell interview posted on the club’s Twitter.
He said: “The club always treated me fairly. I’ve always had a good experience here. I go away with an unbelievably feeling and with a certain love for the club.
“You always have this, because you have a long period at a club, you have a lot of love for the club but sometimes you separate in a bad way and I don’t feel that way.
Even the reaction I’ve had from the supporters, everyone is very positive with me. They wished me a lot of luck and happiness. The club is a part of my family now 100%.”
