Ian Wright has told the Wrighty’s House podcast that he would love Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli to go and join Mauricio Pochettino at PSG.
Alli has been starved of game time at Spurs this season, with Jose Mourinho preferring other options.
Alli’s future has now been heavily speculated about, and there has been some suggestions that Pochettino may well look to sign him at PSG.
Wright is enthused by the reports of the potential transfer, and he feels that Alli would help make the French champions an even more dangerous team.
“I’d love that to happen for him if I’m being totally honest,” Wright said.
“You look at it at the moment and it’s Di Maria trying to feed Mbappe and Neymar, and if that doesn’t happen Tuchel has just been hoping for something amazing.
“Poch will get them as a team and they’ll work and buy in.
“Let’s say you can pop Dele Alli in there, and there’s Di Maria. That starts to look frightening, that’s dangerous.”
The bad news for Wright and Alli is that it seems unlikely that a move to PSG will transpire.
Sky report how Tottenham are keen to keep hold of Alli, despite his lack of game time.
Spurs are apparently reluctant to lose a potential option in midfield, in case a spate of injuries hit.
For Alli to fight his back in from the cold at Tottenham it is going to take some turnaround, though.
The England international has been publicly criticised by Mourinho, and unless he can begin producing in his rare appearances on the pitch, his time at Spurs could well be coming to an end sooner rather than later.
