Some Newcastle United fans on social media have been reacting after The Telegraph reported that the Magpies are in talks over a loan move for Dele Alli.
What’s the story with Alli?
The Telegraph claim that the Tyneside club are now in talks over a loan move for Alli.
Alli has been touted for a move to Newcastle pretty much ever since the Magpies were taken over, and to be fair, it’s a move that makes a lot of sense.
Alli’s career is at a bit of a crossroads, and he needs a fire lit under him if he’s going to get back on track.
A move to Newcastle could be just what the doctor ordered. The Magpies are building an exciting project, and Alli would undoubtedly be one of their most important players if he came in.
Brilliant signing
Alli could be a fantastic signing for Newcastle.
Yes, he’s not been in the best of form over the past couple of years, but let’s not forget, Alli is an incredibly talented footballer.
This is a player who has twice been voted PFA Young Player of the Year, and if he can recapture that form at St James’ Park, Newcastle will have a bona fide star on their hands.
A loan move is being touted initially, but with Newcastle’s vast riches, don’t be surprised if that becomes a permanent move if Alli impresses upon joining on loan.
