Glenn Hoddle: Why this Tottenham star reminds me of Chelsea hero Frank Lampard
TOTTENHAM legend Glenn Hoddle believes Dele Alli has similarities to former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard.
Glenn Hoddle says Dele Alli needs to improve on his shooting
Alli scored Tottenham's equalising goal in last night's 3-1 Champions League victory over CSKA Moscow, which secured their spot in the Europa League.
The England international, who has scored four goals across all competitions this term, missed a number of chances to add to his tally at Wembley.

And former Tottenham player and boss Hoddle believes Alli's threat in the opposition's box reminds him of Chelsea legend Lampard.
The 38-year-old spent 13 years at Stamford Bridge and is Chelsea's all-time leading goalscorer, with 208 strikes in 626 appearances.

Hoddle suggests Alli, 20, has the potential to match Lampard's ability if he improves his composure in front of goal.
“He just needs to sort himself out in front of goal,” Hoddle told BT Sport following Tottenham's home win.
"He reminds me of Lampard. He keeps coming into the penalty area. The chances will come to you.”
