If there was an award for the most improved player of the season at Spurs, then Mousa Dembele would surely walk it.
Clearly possessing immense talent, Dembele has nevertheless struggled to make a real impact at White Hart Lane since his move from Fulham in 2012, but has been transformed this season.
Now one of the most important players in Mauricio Pochettino’s team, the 28-year old Dembele has today been rewarded with a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2019. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news.

Great news on Dembélé's contract, rewarded for a very impressive few months of form. Let's hope he can keep it going at this level!

Of 381 players to attempt 30+ dribbles this season, Mousa Dembele (90.4%) has the best dribble success rate in Europe's top 5 leagues.

Dembélé signing a new deal is great. Squad has looked a little flat without him in there. Great to see his turn around from last year too.

If you left me and Mousa Dembele on a pitch for 24 hours, I'd be able to make 0 successful tackles. The man is a human machine. #thfc
