Dean Jones has told Give Me Sport that Everton man Dele Alli has more than just one offer on the table from Besiktas, but is actually considering a number of moves this summer – and is considering his options ahead of the deadline.
Dele, 26, joined Everton from Tottenham in January. Reports claim that the Toffees are yet to pay anything for the England international, but when he reaches 20 appearances – they will owe Antonio Conte’s side a fee of £10million.
However, Dele has only played 13 times for Everton so far and he could now leave the club before then. Reports say he has agreed personal terms for Besiktas but is yet to complete a move as he is weighing up his future before a decision.
Speaking about Dele’s future before the end of the transfer window, Jones says that it is not only Besiktas that have made an offer. Indeed, the ex-Tottenham man has numerous offers on the table that he is currently considering.
“They are happy to let him go now. He is open-minded about the Turkey offer, but that’s not the only thing on the table for him. He is considering a few things,” Jones told Give Me Sport, regarding Dele.
Everton man Dele has more than just one offer
A move to Besiktas would be a good one for Dele. It would see him join a side with a massive following. A club that will be in the fight for the SuperLig title come the end of the season. However, there is no European football.
It would see him reunite with ex-Tottenham man Georges-Kevin N’Koudou. Besiktas have targeted the Premier League for signings this summer. The likes of Cenk Tosun, Romain Saiss and Arthur Masuaku have all gone to Besiktas.
But Dele may still feel he can make something work in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see the identity of these other offers the Everton midfielder has on the table, but a move looks more and more likely this summer.
