Dele Alli
Amid a supposed falling out with Mourinho, Dele Alli, who was omitted from three successive match-day squads before making a substitute appearance in Thursday’s Europa League victory over Maccabi Haifi, has been told to join Paris Saint-Germain. And former Liverpool and England star John Barnes believes the midfielder should push for a move.John Barnes said“Dele Alli is a fantastic player, I have always said when it comes to footballers, forget about where you want to play, look at the type of football that suits you, Jose is not the most attack-minded manager, so maybe it would be best for him to go to another club that plays a different style and would benefit him. Tottenham is a fantastic place for Dele to be at, and the set up they have at the club is amazing. However, if he thinks about the way he plays he could possibly maximize his potential somewhere else. He’s not a Jose Mourinho-type player and might not appeal to the football that the manager wants to play. For me, he should maybe assess his options and where best suits him and his style. I’ve seen he’s linked with PSG, that would make sense as they are an attack-minded team which could allow him to really express himself on the pitch again. Thomas Tuchel is also a manager that loves to set his teams up on the front foot. Maybe Dele could play then play in a more favoured position just behind the striker. He’d also work well at Arsenal and Chelsea, but I don’t think Tottenham would let that happen!”
