Not so long ago, Dele Alli was one of the sweetest candies in the new generation of English footballers. He seemed capable of reaching the stars and becoming one of the Premier League’s household names…But those sunny days are gone, and he keeps declining, although still 26, which means he could have at least 6-8 years of a professional career in front of him. That’s probably the reason his current club, Everton FC, are hoping to sell him during the upcoming transfer window, for – as it is understood – KSh 2,9 billion. To whom? No one knows.Conte’s stats show he doesn’t need to worry about Alli’s return to LondonStill, even if the Toffees find some naive buyer for that substantial amount of money, they won’t be the only ones to see the income. Some bits and pieces will be left for Dele’s former side, Tottenham – a 25 per cent sell-on clause would head to north London. Which is, to be honest, so little compared to what the Spurs were hoping for once sending Dele to Merseyside. Dele All-in for Everton! Two former England midfielders arrive – one to manage, the other to playThere were all sorts of bonuses in the contract, but Alli’s dreadful season – in which he has combined zero goals and assists in only nine appearances – voided all of them. Pochettino, Mourinho, Conte and Lampard couldn’t find him a proper role on the pitch in the last couple of seasons. So who’s brave (or something else) enough to take chances with Dele Alli? We’ll see as soon as in July.WED: 22.00: (2.55) EINTRACHT (3.20) RANGERS (3.10)
