Dele Alli of Tottenham has agreed to join Everton on a permanent basis. Tottenham has struck an agreement on a permanent move, which will be subject to a physical in the coming hours. It’s finished.
After Van de Beek, Frank Lampard wanted Dele – an official announcement is expected later today.
After the unusual signings of James Rodriguez and Moise Kean for large sums of money, the Toffees have been enslaved by those rigorous regulations for the past year.
Regardless of his situation at Spurs, Alli would almost certainly demand a large sum of money, and we’re not sure if it would be worth it.
After joining Spurs from MK Dons in League One in 2015, Alli made an immediate impact. Alli was a major component in Tottenham’s revival as Premier League title challengers and Champions League finalists under Mauricio Pochettino, alongside Christian Eriksen, Harry Kane, and Son Heung-min.
In his first two seasons with Tottenham, he was involved in 44 Premier League goals, 28 as a scorer and 16 as a supplier.
Nothing has gone right for Pochettino in the two or three years since he left – from the boy who had the world at his feet as he returned home from England’s ecstatic run to the World Cup semi-final in 2018 to warming the Tottenham bench under three different managers.
The England international’s career has become stale, and there have been no signs of him rediscovering his talent.
Lampard would have to do something exceptional to get the best out of him, but considering his background as one of the top goalscoring midfielders in the Premier League, he is the man to do it.
Harry Redknapp, Frank Lampard’s uncle, has said that he’d like to see his nephew resurrect Alli at Everton: “He’s been associated with Dele Alli, and I’d love to see him take Dele Alli under his wing and help him resurrect his career.”
“He’s a fantastic talent, and someone, including Dele Alli, needs to get him back on track.” “Somewhere in there, there’s a terrific player.”
Is it possible that this is a match made in heaven?
