Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli had his worst season since moving to White Hart Lane last term.
Dele Alli could be about to come under big pressure at Tottenham Hotspur, if Giovani Lo Celso arrives this summer.
Since arriving at Tottenham and breaking into their first-team, Alli’s place in Mauricio Pochettino’s line-up has been virtually unthreatened.
Alli has established himself as a key player in Spurs’ squad, and a vital member of their midfield.
However, if Lo Celso arrives, as The Sun suggests he will, and Christian Eriksen stays, then Alli will be under more pressure than ever before at White Hart Lane.
Alli had arguably his most frustrating season at Tottenham last term, when he failed to score with any regularity and injury hampered his progress.
There is no doubting that the 23-year-old, who is on a £100,000-a-week contract (The Times), is a wonderful talent.
But with Lo Celso set to come to White Hart Lane, Alli needs to respond to the increased competition.
And all eyes will be on Alli next term, as he needs to have a big season otherwise his place in Tottenham’s starting line-up could come under serious threat.
