Could Dele Alli move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid in the summer transfer window?
Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague has suggested to Sky Sports that Dele Alli is going to stay at Tottenham Hotspur next season.
According to a recent report in The Guardian, Gareth Bale wants Alli to join him at Real Madrid.
Wales international winger Bale joined Madrid from Tottenham in the summer of 2013.
Well-known Spanish football journalist Balague, though, does not think that 20-year-old England international midfielder Alli will switch to the Spanish giants in the summer transfer window.
During an Q&A on Skysports.com, Balague was asked by Jimmy in London: “Saw a story that suggested Bale wants Alli to join at Real Madrid. Any truth? #AskGuillem.”
“Not that I know of,” Balague replied. “But certainly Dele Alli is being looked at by big clubs, but it’s still early for him.
“He should have another two or three years at Spurs and see where they are, because they could be big enough to keep him, depending on what his progression is. But I do think he’s going to stay there next season.”
Alli is one of the best young players in entire Europe and has been playing brilliantly for Tottenham this season.
The youngster is not a finished article yet, and it would make sense for him to carry on playing for Tottenham for the next two or three seasons.
Spurs have broken into the Premier League top four and could establish themselves as regulars in the Champions League.
Alli has scored 13 goals and created 33 chances in 26 Premier League appearances for Tottenham so far this campaign.
During the 2015-16 campaign, the Englishman has scored 10 goals and created 55 chances in 33 league matches for the North London outfit.
