Danny Rose makes shock Champions League final claim as Tottenham handed major double injury blow

Your morning Tottenham Hotspur digest on Saturday, November 11.

Former Spurs left-back Danny Rose has claimed that the Lillywhites would have won the UEFA Champions League back in 2019 if they hadn't sold Mousa Dembele in January of that year. When asked who were the most gifted players he played alongside in north London, Rose told the Official Tottenham Hotspur Podcast: «I would say Luka (Modric) and then I would say Dembele would be a very close second.

»He was absolutely amazing. For me, if he hadn’t left in January we would’ve won the final in the Champions League.

“Obviously in January it’s not in anyone’s thoughts we’d get to the final, but that’s how influential he was for us, if he played in the final we would’ve won that game.”

Manchester United icon Roy Keane has admitted that he didn't particularly enjoy Monday night's clash between Tottenham and Chelsea, which the Blues won 4-1. Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Keane questioned the decisions made by some of the Spurs players, labelling Mauricio Pochettino's side 'average' in their performance.

“I didn’t really enjoy it [Tottenham vs Chelsea]. I thought there was too much going on, there was a couple of sending offs and I didn't think the quality was that great in the game. Spurs were up against it and got a couple of applauds but Chelsea were very average."
