Tottenham news: Dele Alli to be targeted by Europe’s big guns
TOTTENHAM are bracing themselves for a big-money raid from Europe for Dele Alli.
Tottenham star Dele Alli produced an incredible performance against Real Madrid
Sources in Spain say Real Madrid, under fire from angry fans after their 3-1 Champions League beating by Spurs, lead the chase for the player who plotted their downfall last week.
And former England manager Roy Hodgson reckons they are not alone.
Hodgson, whose struggling Crystal Palace side face Tottenham today, said Ali’s performance against Real had caught the eyes of all Europe’s giants.
“There will have been offers already,” he claimed.
There will have been offers already
“Tottenham won’t want to let him go and it would only be one of the top echelon of clubs who could even consider buying him.
“I’m rather hoping he won’t be looking for such a move but there is no doubt that Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich have a big pull.
“If you talk about the top midfielders in Europe now, he would be in the reckoning.”
