West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady says that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli should not resort to cheap tricks.
Alli is one of the best young players in the world and is a key figure in the Tottenham midfield.
The England international, though, has been accused of going down too easily under challenges and of trying to win penalties by diving.
West Ham vice-chairman Brady has suggested that the 21-year-old midfielder, who earns £50,000 per week as salary according to The Daily Star, should not resort to cheap tricks.
Brady wrote in The Sun: “Dele is a young, vibrant talent and has no need to resort to cheap tricks.
“He may have been misled by some of the behaviour he has encountered, such as elbows in the face and studs-up challenges.
“In football, learning such habits is a danger to everyone’s health. I call it mind-tampering.”
Quality footballer
Alli is not have the kind of season this term as he had during 2016-17, but there is no doubt that the Tottenham star is a quality midfielder who can only get better.
The 21-year-old is going to suffer from inconsistencies as he is still very young and is developing.
The Spurs midfielder has scored six goals and provided nine assists in 28 Premier League starts so far this season.
During the 2016-17 campaign, Alli scored 18 goals and provided seven assists in 35 league starts for Tottenham.
