Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has actually been linked with a move to Barcelona.

The Daily Mail has reported how Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho was praising Tottenham Hotspur’s Dele Alli, as his move to Barcelona edged closer.

Coutinho was discussing Alli was his associates, as negotiations over his Barcelona move rumbled on.

The Brazilian play maker is said to be a massive fan of Alli, and he was full of praise for the England international.

Coutinho was watching Tottenham Hotspur’s match against West Ham United, while he was praising Alli.

It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if Alli was to join Coutinho at the Nou Camp at some point in the future.

The Daily Mail have reported how Lionel Messi has told Barcelona to make an attempt to sign Alli from Spurs.

Tottenham, of course, would be loathed to lose the attacking midfielder, who is considered to be one of the brightest talents in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

Alli may not have been in great form this season, but he has still provided nine goals and 10 assists in 27 matches for Spurs across the course of the campaign.
