Alli signs Spurs deal

Spurs have officially announced the signing of MK Dons midfielder Dele Alli on a five-and-a-half year deal reportedly for £5million. Spurs will send the 18-year-old back to the League One side on loan for the rest of the season before returning to join the club in the summer.




“It’s a massive club and I’m really happy to be here,” Alli dtold the club website. “I’m looking forward to meeting all the lads and getting to work with the manager. It’s a dream come true. I like the way the manager has been working, developing the youth and bring a lot of young players in. I wanted to come to a club where the manager puts a lot of trust into young players.”




The midfielder has scored 12 goals this season for MK Dons in 27 appearances, which is the top figure for any midfielder in the top four tiers. Alli is also the captain of the England U18 side.



“I’d love to play for Spurs and play at White Hart Lane. It won’t be easy and I’ll have fight for my place in the team but I’ll work hard to do that. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m looking forward to making this my home.”
