Dele Alli has sent a ten-word message to Heung-min Son, after the forward was handed the FIFA Puskás Award on Thursday.

The South Korea’s wonderful solo effort against Burnley last season was named the best goal of the past 12 months.

After Jan Vertonghen’s clearance, Son picked the ball up on the edge of his own box, before surging towards Burnley’s box, beating numerous players in the process.

He then slots a composed finish past Nick Pope.

After the strike was voted for the FIFA Puskás Award, Alli sent the following message to the £22 million attacker on Twitter.

Incidentally, the England international netted twice in the 5-0 win over Burnley last season, in the same game Son scored his wondergoal.

Nowadays, Alli can’t even seem to make Jose Mourinho’s matchday squad, nor did he manage to get off the bench in Tottenham’s last Europa League outing.

The former MK Dons prodigy is arguably enduring the toughest time of his career to date, with his future in north London far from certain.

The BBC revealed that Paris Saint-Germain are still keen on the attacking midfielder, and are set to make a move to sign him on loan this January.

Whatever happens, it doesn’t seem as if Alli will be starting many games with Son again anytime soon.
