​Dembele happy with competition from new Tottenham signing Sissoko

Mousa Dembele is 'very happy' with Spurs' Deadline Day signing Moussa Sissoko.

Dembele is yet to play for Spurs this season following a six-game ban he received for poking Diego Costa's eye in May.

When he returns, he will face increased competition following the £30m arrival of Sissoko.

"I am very happy. I think he is a very good player. He is going to be great for our team," Dembele told Sky Sports.
