Tottenham Hotspur’s Dele Alli could be about to sign with agent Mino Raiola.

According to The Independent, super-agent Mino Raiola is confident of winning the race to represent Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Dele Alli.

Alli, 21, has turned into a superstar since his 2015 move from Milton Keynes Dons, having hit 32 goals in 96 games during his first two seasons with Spurs.

The midfielder has been criticised for his performances this season, but has still managed to record nine goals and 10 assists in all competitions in an up-and-down campaign.

Alli’s future remains up in the air given links to a host of top European clubs, and The Independent report that he will leave agent Rob Segal in the near future.

The world’s top agents are now queueing up to represent Alli, and it’s claimed that Mino Raiola is now confident of winning the battle this year.

Raiola is one of the world’s most well-known agents, given that he represents Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic among others, and adding Alli to his list of clients would be another coup.

Raiola has had some dealings with Spurs chairman in the past, having represented former manager Martin Jol and ex-midfielder Etienne Capoue.

Levy may not be too keen on Alli signing with such a powerful, tough-negotiating agent in Raiola given that Spurs want to extend the England international’s contract, but the Spurs chief won’t get a say in Alli’s decision – and Tottenham will be hoping that Raiola doesn’t attempt to tempt the midfielder into moving on.
