Dele Alli spotted on Kim Kardashian's Instagram story after being banished by Besiktas
Dele Alli and Bukayo Saka appeared on Kim Kardashian's Instagram story.
Social media users were bemused when they saw Alli appearing on Kardashian's story. The former Tottenham attacking midfielder could be seen posing with Kardashian's son Saint and three of the seven-year-old's closest friends.
It is not clear where the picture was taken, although Kardashian had shared snaps and a video from Selfridges' London store just hours earlier. The influencer and star of Keeping Up With The Kardashians has been visiting London this week and took in Arsenal's Europa League defeat by Sporting Lisbon on Thursday night.
And that might be why Gunners star Saka also appeared in another story by Kardashian. The winger had called in via FaceTime to speak with Kardashian, Saint and his friends and to apologise for missing a planned meeting at the Emirates Stadium the night before.

Saka promised to deliver a match-worn shirt and could be heard saying: "Sorry I missed you guys yesterday. They said you were in the players’ lounge and I had a shirt for you.”
Someone - possibly a friend of Kardashian - can be heard saying in the background: “Bukayo, if you can get it to me I can ship it.”
Saint tells Saka: “We’ll come back when you win the Premier League!”
The sighting of Alli comes just days after the 26-year-old was banished by loan club Besiktas. According to The Athletic, the Turkish club will not take up their £8million option to sign Alli from Everton.

Besiktas boss Senol Gunes has frequently criticised the former England player in public. The head coach has been left unimpressed by Alli’s performances.
Alli will therefore return to Everton, where he will have a year remaining on his contract. Toffees boss Sean Dyche revealed that the player’s future will become clearer during the March international break.
Dyche said: “I’ll wait to find out [about Dele] during the international break. We’ll have to wait and see and judge in the summer. We’ll pick that up during the international break.”
Alli's career has taken a huge downfall in recent years. He was once regarded as one of England's brightest talents but now, at just 26, his career faces a crossroads. He joined Everton in January 2022 after falling out of favour at Spurs but moved to Besiktas just eight months later.
