Mousa Dembele has cast doubt on his Tottenham Hotspur future after revealing that he feels underrated by Mauricio Pochettino, having struggled for game time last term.
The Belgian midfielder started a total of 18 games in a season that the 27-year-old claims was a "big disappointment" to him due to a lack of first-team chances.
Earlier on Friday, Dembele said that he is seeking talks with Pochettino before deciding his future, having been linked with a move to Chelsea earlier this month.
He told Belgian publication Sporza: "I've played so few minutes, it is a big disappointment to me.
"At one point I showed what I've got and I thought I took my chance but, as quickly again, I fell out of the team.
"Do I get little credit at Tottenham? Yes, I have that feeling at times, but it is ultimately down to me. I have to stay positive. I am still confident."
Dembele, whose contract expires in 2017, joined Spurs in 2012 from Fulham.
