Four years ago, Dele Alli was playing for England in the World Cup and looking like a household name. But the former Tottenham Hotspur hotshot has suffered a sad fall from grace. The loan to Everton did nothing to preserve his reputation. Having failed to secure himself a permanent berth under Frank Lampard at Goodison Park, Alli sought success overseas, moving to Turkish giants Besiktas.However, his fortunes didn’t improve in Istanbul. He only got two goals in 10 appearances, leading the club’s leaders to reconsider.##NAJAVA_MECA_6892967##Manager Senol Gunes has already expressed his dissatisfaction with the former England international. Despite doing well on the training pitch, he is yet to show why the club has rolled the dice on him. He already substituted him at half-time earlier in the season. But the door isn’t closed. He showed Dele videos of former Germany striker Mario Gomez in an attempt to improve his movement and positioning. However, the 26-year-old forward is still a shadow of his former self.The black and whites’ sporting director Ceyhun Kazanci hopes Gunes’ track record of rejuvenating players will pay dividends once more.”No one can answer whether Dele Alli can do it right now. He is working very hard. He is a player who reached $100 million market value three years ago. He had a fall. We had intense talks with him before we signed him. Senol is famous for returning many players whose careers have been on the decline. We hope he will be better in the second half of the season.”Dele Alli | Tottenham Dayspic.twitter.com/jvdbGWBs4t— Harv (@Harvthfc) December 7, 2022 The hope remains. So does talent. But it won’t be enough unless Alli decides he wants to play good football again.
