Alli refuses to rule out Spurs exit

In an interview with the London Evening Standard magazine Dele Alli has refused to rule out a move away from Tottenham, however he insists the club is a great place for him at this stage of his career.

Dele had two excellent campaigns when he first moved from MK Dons, however he endured an inconsistent season last time out – although he did finish up with nine Premier League goals.

The article adds that his focus now is on starring for England in Russia this summer but there is always continued speculation surrounding his future with the likes of Manchester United and Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid believed to be admirers that topped with our well known strict wage structure (which may be relaxed soon) means Mauricio Pochettino faces a long-term battle to keep hold of his young talented squad.

The article goes on to say that Alli admits he cannot predict what the future holds, should one of those European giants come calling.

“I’d never say never to anything. You never know what is going to happen in football,”:he told ES Magazine.”I have still got a few years left on my contract. We have got a young team, a young manager, a new stadium, so it is a great place to be at the minute.

He added: “All the players can see the way the club is heading.But you can’t look into the future too much as it takes the pleasure out of now.”

It adds how Alli hopes to impress in his first World Cup this summer, with England’s opener with Tunisia now just over a week away.

“I am over the moon to be selected for the World Cup, it is what you dream of as a kid,” he added.”We have got a great manager and an ambitious young squad. I am confident we can have a successful tournament.”

So what do you reckon to Alli’s revelation, is he just being honest or does he see his long term future away from Spurs.
