Check out his opts stats on tackles won and fouls made. Sadly Mousa is losing it.
Also the players you've highlighted reg Kante, Henderson, Fernandinho share a midfield with more creative players. We already have Dier and Wanyama who do similar jobs to them so it makes Dembele even more redundant as he gets a little more creaky.
Personally I've loved Dembele but I think him staying for a further year, especially if he starts most of the time like he has will see us concede more fouls and see the game pass him by a lot more than we are used to.
With a year left of his contract, we really should be moving heaven and earth to proactively bring in his squad replacement
I've said, can't argue with those stats. It's fair to say that dembele shares the midfield with more creative players, too. I don't consider alli a midfielder in his usual position, but in him and eriksen we have two 'midfielders' who contribute a lot of assists.
