da brwin： Oh Dele Alli. Super player – absolutely no doubt about that – but he does make it pretty easy for opposition fans to dislike him.
da bet nacional： The 22-year-old’s willingness to dive and indeed become involved in scuffles has actually made him one of most unpopular footballers in the Premier League when it comes to fans of clubs other than Tottenham Hotspur.
The Spurs fans love him, though. And why not?
Alli, who is valued at £72m by transfermarkt.co.uk, has scored 41 goals in 127 appearances for Tottenham since joining the club from MK Dons.
He managed 10 Premier League goals in his first campaign with the club, before netting 22 in all competitions last season. This term, Alli has managed nine goals and 11 assists in 31 matches.
It was actually on this day in 2015 that Tottenham signed Alli for £5m, and what an acquisition it has turned out to be.
Alli has gone on to make 22 appearances for England, and he is an absolute certainty to make Gareth Southgate’s squad for the 2018 World Cup.
