As a confirmation of the incredible progress made by Dele Alli in the last two years, transfer rumours surrounding the midfielder have just begun. Paris St Germain are thought to be heavily interested in the player, who was playing in the lower levels of English league football only two years ago with MK Dons, reports the Mirror. Alli has been irresistible playing as the attacking midfielder for Tottenham. He has formed a deadly partnership with Harry Kane and the two players have been the fulcrum of this Spurs team.
Alli signed a new contract with Tottenham only in September and it is understood that the contract is worth around £60,000 per week, and a club like PSG will be easily able to double this figure along with substantial amount of performance related bonuses. Since the player has a contract with the London outfit until the summer of 2022, the club are unlikely to be worried about any transfer rumours surrounding the player.
After a number of players like Harry Kane, Rose and Vertonghen have signed improve deals, it would not be surprising if Alli also wants to be considered as part of the renegotiation process. Spurs have been actively involved in extending the contracts of several players. More players are expected to follow suit with the most high profile being captain Hugo Lloris, who has less than two years left on his deal.
Mirror has further reported that PSG are ready to pay around £50 million for the youngster, who was brought in from MK Dons for just £5 million at the start of 2015. It is a sign of the incredible progress made by the player in the last two years. After being a little unknown only 24 months ago, he has now 15 England appearances under his belt.
One of the primary reasons for the transfer rumours linking Dele Alli with a move to PSG is the French outfit’s stuttering form in the league and Europe. After the arrival of Unai Emery from Sevilla, the club’s form has been highly inconsistent. It is rumoured that the club are considering the signing of Alli in order to improve the club’s attack, which is still lethal with the likes of Edinson Cavani up front.
