Speaking to Off The Ball, Stephen Hunt has shared what he knows about Dele Alli in Spurs training.
The former Ireland international was asked whether or not he’d heard anything about Tottenham’s training sessions from people he knows within the game.
Understandably, after a 17-year playing career and an ongoing career as an agent, Hunt has some contacts at Spurs, and he’s shared what he’s heard about Dele Alli.
We’ve all heard that Antonio Conte has been putting Tottenham through their paces, and Hunt claims that Dele Alli is actually flourishing in Conte’s running drills.

Could transform
Alli has been out of form for quite some time, but if he’s truly looking fitter and running willingly in training he could transform back into the player he once was.

The two-time PFA Young Player of the Year winner was brilliant against Liverpool at the weekend, and if he keeps that up, Spurs may want to reconsider their stance on letting him go in January.
