Dele Alli Profile
Dele Alli is a talented 21 year old midfielder who has shown great promise and potential since making it on to the professional scene.
Alli began his career at MK Dons. He initially signed for Spurs in February 2015, but returned to the League One team to see out the 2014-15 season. He had a glistening season scoring 16 times in 39 appearances helping MK Dons secure automatic promotion to the Championship alongside Bristol City. His prolific goal scoring record did not go unrecognised, and his efforts were rewarded with the award of the Football League’s Young Player of the Season.
Dele Alli then returned to the Lane during the 2015-16 campaign and bagged his first goal for Spurs in a 1-1 stalemate with Leicester City. His confidence on the ball increased with every match and Alli finished the season on 10 Premier League goals; one of which, won Match of the Day’s goal of the season. Like a fine wine, he got better with age and enjoyed a stunning 2016-17 season which saw 22 goals in 50 games in a Spurs shirt. He was rightfully showered with accolades in this season, picking up: a second consecutive PFA Young Player award, PFA Player of the Month award, PFT Team of the Year award, and Supporter’s Goal of the Year!
The season after Alli still had an impressive year, scoring 14 goals from 50 appearances in all competitions.
Dele Alli made his first international appearance in 2015 and represented England in all four of their Euro 2016 fixtures. He also appeared for England in the 2018 World Cup, scoring in the quarter final against Sweden.
