Paul Robinson has told Sky Sports News (22/09/20 at 12:35 pm) that he would ‘absolutely hate’ it if Tottenham sold Dele Alli to a top-six rival.

It hasn’t been a pleasant start to the season for Alli because he was whipped off at half-time in Tottenham’s opening Premier League game and since then his manager has decided to keep him at home.

Added with the All or Nothing documentary circulating the airwaves, it hasn’t exactly resulted in positive stories emerging about the player likened to Frank Lampard.

Former Spurs keeper Robinson made it clear that it would be a huge risk for the club to part ways with a player, as he pleaded for them to keep hold of him.

“I personally think Dele Alli still has so much to give,” Robinson told Sky Sports. “He’s 24 and has got an abundance of talent.

“If Dele Alli was to leave Tottenham, I would hate for him to leave to one of the top-six sides in England and see him flourish because there’s still so much football left in him. He’s a top-class player.

“From a Tottenham point of view, I would absolutely hate for him to be sold to a rival because you know what a good player he is and it can come back to haunt you.”

Whilst a potential move to another Premier League club doesn’t seem on the cards, it has been suggested that the champions of France are keen to take the Englishman on board [Telegraph].

A move across the English channel would be a surprising one if it happens because big-spending PSG aren’t exactly known for attracting English players whose form has fallen off a cliff.

Either way, Mourinho’s recent treatment of Alli should be taken on the chin by the MK Dons academy product because his outspoken manager has the man-management skills to drag every talent from his veins.
