Dele Alli is on the exit ramp. The young Englishman is barely taking center stage this season and Tottenham have reached an agreement with Tottenham so that he can find a new destination when the winter transfer market begins for a six-month loan, according to Telegraph.
Recovering the best level of the English midfielder was one of Jose Mourinho's goals when he arrived more than a year ago and worked hard but, after several opportunities, The young Briton has not managed to get his best football again and other teammates have taken his place even in the call. The Portuguese tried to spur him on since his arrival last season as seen in the Amazon documentary and, without directly quoting him, He has also talked about the work required to earn a spot on his team. A job that Dele, it seems, has not completed satisfactorily in the nine games he has played this season.
While in the Premier his participation has been brief (71 minutes between Everton (J.1 45 min), United (J.4, 21 min) and Crystal Palace (J.12, 5 min)) and has remained out of the call up to nine times, the Europa League is being his chance to play but without much success. Alli mixes irregular performances against second-row rivals and even in this group phase alternates starts and substitutions, including two games without touching the green. One goal and one assist is his baggage in a competition where Tottenham have scored more than one goal per game in five of six games.
Despite his bad season, the Telegraph assures that the player would have several offers from clubs willing to try to resurrect his talent. The last to show interest was Paris Saint-Germain last summer, but those in the capital did not close the deal with the Spurs. As the transfer window opens, Parisians are expected to return to the fray to close this loan for the next six months. The one from Milton Keynes will be one of the most sought-after pieces of this winter market and could make the leap to the French team to try to shine again.
An outing with different objectives
According to the British press, both Tottenham and Dele welcome this outing. Mourinho hardly uses the player and the club hopes that with this departure Alli will recover his best level and maintain or increase his market value in the face of a possible sale. In addition, they consider that this exit, although not the most beneficial, is the one that the player, for the moment, deserves for the services provided.
While, There he wants to add minutes of play and stand out to earn a place on Gareth Southgate's list for the next European Championship. The former star of the Three Lions in the 2018 World Cup has a difficult time returning to a national team with which he has not played for more than a year and a half. His future at Tottenham is still unknown. The aspiring star will have to find himself far away in one of the best recent years in North London.
