Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are reportedly keen on Dele Alli – but he’s believed to be happy at Tottenham.
According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli is happy at White Hart Lane, despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
Tottenham won the race to sign Alli, 20, from Milton Keynes Dons in January 2015, beating a host of Premier League rivals to his signature – and their faith in the youngster has been greatly rewarded.

The midfielder hit 10 goals and 11 assists in his debut season for Spurs last term, earning a place n the England side and playing for his country at Euro 2016 as well.
So far this season, Alli has grabbed four goals and one assist, and is looking to get back to his best after something of an inconsistent start to the campaign.

Despite his hot and cold form, Alli appears to be attracting major interest. The Daily Mail report that European giants Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are both keen on signing Alli, with Spurs bracing themselves for a fight to keep their young star.
It’s stated that both PSG and Real Madrid could offer Alli well in excess of the £60,000-a-week he currently earns at Tottenham, but the playmaker is believed to be happy at White Hart Lane.
The report claims that Alli won’t force through a move anywhere right now, but is fiercely ambitious, as many of Tottenham’s exciting crop of young players will be.
News of Alli’s desire to stay at White Hart Lane will be a boost to Spurs, given that they’ve lost key players like Luka Modric and Gareth Bale to Real Madrid in recent years, with Mauricio Pochettino keen to build his side up to contend with the likes of Real Madrid, rather than lose players to them.
