Paul Pogba says the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is worth more than £100 million.
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has showered praise on Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli.
Pogba said that when he joined United from Juventus for the-then world record transfer fee he was under a lot of pressure because of the price tag over which he had no control.
The French midfielder says that he can now play with more freedom and that people are noticing his performance on the pitch rather than commenting on his price tag.
Alli joined Spurs from Milton Keynes in 2015 for a bargain fee of £5 million. He quickly established himself as one of the key members of Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
The 21-year-old scored 22 goals in all competitions last season, and now he is a key player for his country as well.
Alli’s stock has risen dramatically to a level where a £100 million valuation and interest from Real Madrid are being mooted.
Pogba believes that Alli is worth more than £100 million. He says that the Spurs midfielder is not only very talented but matured as well. He has advised Alli to focus on his game.
“I think he is worth even more than £100m because you see how he plays — he is very talented but still very young,” said Pogba, as quoted by The Standard. “But he is mature as well — you can see that in his football. He can deal with the talk. You can see he doesn’t care. He should, and will, focus on his football, and the rest, they will always speak. Always focus on the field.”
