Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has scored 10 goals in 19 Premier League games this season.

George Graham has told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast Show, which was broadcast on 5th January, that Tottenham Hotspur will have to make a decision about Dele Alli’s future soon.

Alli has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent times – with his reputation continuing to grow.

The 20-year-old is regarded as one of the top, young talents in the Premier League and he is currently in red-hot form.

Alli has scored six goals in his last three appearances, and he netted a brace against Chelsea last night.

The England international has recently signed a new contract with Spurs, but Graham believes that he could earn more money if he was to move to Madrid.

“Tottenham could be left with a problem. Players know that other clubs can offer more money than they can earn [at Spurs],” Graham said. “They are going to have to make a decision about it [Alli’s future] and they’re going to have to face it.”

Tottenham have struggled to keep their very best players away from Madrid when the Spanish giants have shown an interest in recent times.

The likes of Luka Modric and Gareth Bale both left White Hart Lane to move to Madrid.

And although it would be a surprise to see Alli leave Spurs in the immediate future, the interest in him is only set to increase, if he continues to play to such a high level.
