Speaking on the Que Golazo Podcast, Fabrizio Romano has stated that there is a big chance that Dele Alli will be leaving Tottenham in January.
The attacking midfielder has long-been linked with a move away from the club, with Everton reportedly chasing a loan deal for him, but Romano now says that he could be headed out on a permanent basis.
“We have to pay attention to Dele Alli in January, because he can leave the club,” Romano said.
“So, there are huge chances to see Dele Alli out of Tottenham in January, now, we need to understand where he’s going, because last summer we had rumours about Real Madrid, but they are not going to sign any players in January as they did last summer.
“We have to see what happens with Paris Saint-Germain, we know PSG are looking for this type of player and they have seen a lot of Dele Alli, so it’s possible they will try again,
“But at the moment, the player is focusing on talking with the club, he has to talk with Daniel Levy, the president of Tottenham, to understand the price, what kind of formula they have to find to sell Dele Alli, if it’s a loan or a permanent deal.
“Now is the time to prepare the exit of Dele Alli of Tottenham, but there are huge chances to see the player out of Tottenham in January.”
What a real shame it is that Alli’s situation has come to this.
It really looked as though Tottenham had unearthed a future legend when Dele Alli first broke into the team, winning back-to-back PFA Young Player of the Year awards and netting 18 goals in his second season in the Premier League, but it hasn’t quite gone to plan recently.
Alli’s performances have slowly but surely declined over the past two seasons, and now it seems as though he’s at the end of the road at Spurs.
Fortunately for the England international, it doesn’t seem as though he’ll be short of suitors, with Romano speculating that PSG could come in for him again.
This is certainly one to keep an eye on as we enter the January window.
