Dele Alli captained Tottenham to victory in the Carabao Cup over Watford in midweek.
Tottenham are reportedly close to agreeing a new contract with Dele Alli to ease concerns of an exit, which is brilliant news for the entire club.
The 22-year-old is near to penning a new deal and is expected to reach a swift agreement after a breakthrough in talks, according to the Independent.
A fresh Alli deal would tie down the future of one of their key players and he is definitely a crucial part of the Spurs jigsaw, which should have the end goal of the club winning plenty of silverware.
The North London club have seen manager Mauricio Pochettino and centre-forward Harry Kane commit their futures so far in 2018, with the duo both integral to success moving forward.
But attacking midfielder Alli falls into that category of key men to the club too and at his age still has plenty of room to get even better.
Spurs have certainly missed him during a mini injury problem this season, but he was back to guide the team to a win over Watford in the cup and is a major influence in the dressing room.
Alli has been brilliant since he joined from MK Dons, scoring 48 goals and supplying 41 assists in just 152 appearances.
The England international went all the way to the semi-finals of the World Cup in the summer and is a high-profile talent that belongs on the biggest stage, who can help Spurs reach their target of winning trophies.
They would find it extremely difficult to replace Alli with someone as influential and charismatic, which is why a reportedly imminent new deal should be celebrated.
