The Tottenham Hotspur ace has been more productive than the Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona stars.
Tottenham star Dele Alli has been quite sensational for his club, since swapping MK Dons for north London in 2015.
The 21-year-old has proven to be pivotal to Spurs, with his late perfectly-timed runs into the opposition’s penalty area becoming a feature of his play.
Dele cost the Lilywhites just £5 million – an absolute snip in today’s ludicrously inflated transfer market.
Two other youngsters who are currently lighting up the word stage are Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele.
The French duo cost their respective clubs roughly £300 million in the summer, with Mbappe joining Paris Saint-Germain for £165 million, according to the Telegraph, and Dembele moving to Barcelona in a deal thought to be worth £135 million, according to BBC Sport.
The Spurs youngster has outperformed the pair of them since the summer of 2015, though.
Dele has chalked up 34 goals and 25 assists in the Premier League since August 2015, whereas Mbappe has notched 29 goals and 17 assists in league competition. Dembele has recorded 18 goals and 21 assists.
The Tottenham star has played more games (99), however, than both Mbappe (61) and Dembele (67).
His direct involvement in goals is still 13 clear of the PSG man, and 20 clear of the Barca ace.
Dele has received certain amounts of criticism this season, and it is so typical of the English media for them to heap too much pressure on our young stars.
The 21-year-old should be given time to continue his growth and development, and judging by his impressive numbers, he has done more than enough already to live up to his high expectations.
