The former MK Dons midfielder is himself said to keen on a move away from Tottenham this month while manager Jose Mourinho is also open to letting him leave on loan. However, chairman Daniel Levy was believed to be undecided over the situation, as per The Athletic.
However, according to the latest update from Romano, the two clubs are in ‘advanced talks’ over the potential loan exit, with a deal close to being completed. It will be a plain loan deal with no option to make the transfer permanent.
But, Tottenham are holding out on sanctioning a departure for the midfielder until a replacement for Alli is secured.
