Watford striker Troy Deeney has written in The Sun that Dele Alli should leave Tottenham Hotspur.
Deeney believes that Tottenham midfielder Alli is “a seriously good player”, and thinks that for him to get back to his best, he needs to find a new club.
The Englishman made the comments in the wake of the 24-year-old getting substituted at the half-time interval of Spurs’ 1-0 defeat to Royal Antwerp in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Deeney wrote in The Sun about Alli: “It feels as if Dele Alli might need a move from Tottenham. After he was taken off at half-time in the Europa League defeat by Antwerp, it seems Dele’s face doesn’t fit with Jose Mourinho.”
The Watford striker added: “Kevin De Bruyne is a magnificently gifted player but, when you play against him, you are soon struck by how hard he works. Dele has to do the same — and maybe he needs a different club to get the best out of him. Whoever does would be recruiting a seriously good player.”
Dele Alli Stats
Alli has made one start and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Tottenham so far this season, according to WhoScored.
The England international has also made one start and one substitute appearance in the Europa League for Jose Mourinho’s side so far this campaign, according to WhoScored.
Should Dele Alli leave Tottenham Hotspur?
Alli has been left out of Tottenham’s Premier League matchday squads at times this season.
It seems that Spurs head coach Mourinho does not consider the 24-year-old a regular in his starting lineup.
The England international needs regular playing time if he is to get back to his best, and if the midfielder is unable to establish himself in the Spurs starting lineup in the coming weeks, then perhaps he should look into moving to another club when the transfer window opens in January.
