We're onto you, Tottenham. We see what you're doing.

You're using your own transfer policy to give the football world a laugh… and we most heartily approve. If every Premier League club started deliberately trying to sign players of the same name, the world would be a better place.

Confused? You will be…

First, Spurs announced that Mousa Demebele (the Belgian midfielder who has played for them since 2012) had signed a three-and-a-half-year extension to his contract.

And then news broke that Spurs think they are getting pretty close to signing Moussa Dembele (Fulham's highly-rated young French forward).

So, we could soon live in a world where Mousa Dembele and Moussa Dembele are playing in the same Tottenham team.

Clearly, that would be wonderful - but Daniel Levy's not going to stop there. When Daniel Levy puts his mind to something, it tends to happen. That's why we reckon this is just part one of a broader transfer strategy.

Perhaps Barnet defender Bira Dembele could soon be on his way to White Hart Lane?

Maybe Mana Dembele, the Guingamp striker from Mali, could soon be coming to White Hart Lane?

Could Kessima Dembele, a French defender last seen playing for St Maur Lusitanos in the lower reaches of the French league, soon be part of Mauricio Pochettino's squad?

What do you reckon, Mauricio?
