Alli Thrilled With Spurs Move

Dele Alli has spoken of his amazing experience in becoming a Tottenham Hotspurs signing, after completing his £5m transfer from League One side Milton Keynes Dons.


The Premier League team signed the Anglo-Nigerian last night but Alli will spend the next five months back on loan at his former club to develop.

"It’s a massive club and I’m really happy to be here,” he told the club's 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.

“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.”

The attacking midfielder had a feel of the club's world-class training facility at Hotspur Way.

“I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m looking forward to making this my home.”

Alli underwent a medical on Monday evening and a five-and-a-half year deal was confirmed later.

He has emerged as one of the hottest prospects in English football and one of his recent appearances drew representatives from 32 clubs.

Bayern Munich and Internazionale are among those to have scouted him.
