Everton and Tottenham in discussions over Dele Alli contract agreement
Everton are exploring the possibility of salvaging the career of Dele Alli, initiating discussions with Tottenham to chart a path for the midfielder’s future. Blues manager Sean Dyche has disclosed that preliminary talks with Dele’s former club are underway as the player undergoes an extended rehabilitation process following a significant injury setback this summer.
Earlier this year, Everton struck a multifaceted deal with Tottenham to secure the services of the former England international. This deal involved no upfront payment but could amount to £30 million depending on the number of appearances.
The first instalment, totalling £10 million goes active when Dele reaches his 20th appearance for Everton. However, due to injuries and a loan spell with Besiktas, the 27-year-old has featured in just 13 matches for the Merseyside club, with a lone start.
As per The Mirror, with Everton’s challenging financial circumstances, it seems unlikely they will permit him to reach the 20-game mark without a clear understanding with Spurs to waive the associated fee.
We would love a comeback story
Sean Dyche is eager to provide Dele with playing time and support his endeavour to revive a career that, as revealed in a recent interview with Gary Neville, has been marred by mental health issues stemming from his childhood.
For Dele, this represents a potential turning point in his career. A fresh start could provide the impetus he needs to rediscover his best form and regain his confidence. He has not played a lot for the Toffees, and he could soon start to.
Keep in mind, he is only 27 and still has a lot of football left in him. The outcome will be of great interest to both clubs and football enthusiasts eager to see Dele’s career trajectory.
