Dele Alli has started in Tottenham Hotspur’s last two matches, with Mauricio Pochettino seemingly giving him a chance to regain his best form.
Alli has struggled for form at Tottenham for almost two seasons now, with injury badly disrupting his progress.
Alli scored 18 goals for Spurs in the 2016/17 campaign, but he has not managed to match that tally in both the last two seasons combined.
The 23-year-old also recently lost his place in the England team, which appears to have served as a wake-up call to him.
Alli has shown glimpses of his old self in Tottenham’s last two matches, with the attacking midfielder coming back into Pochettino’s starting line-up.
And Redknapp thinks that Alli’s talents cannot be forgotten about.
“When I look at the team, they are full of good players everywhere. It is the same group of players – but one or two are not playing as well,” the former Spurs boss admitted.
“Dele Alli, I love him, what a footballer, but he has not been in the same form as he showed, maybe over a year ago.
“He comes back to form, he is an incredible player.”
Alli looks likely to retain his place in Tottenham’s line-up at the weekend, as he helped them to an important 5-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade in midweek.
Spurs put in arguably their best performance on Tuesday night, with Alli earning praise for the way he linked their midfield and attack.
Tottenham face a tough challenge on Sunday, as their next match comes against Liverpool at Anfield.
