Hugo Lloris has appeared to suggest that the close of the transfer window has transformed Dele Alli’s form.
The Englishman was frozen out of the Tottenham team for much of this season and he was keen to leave the club in the last transfer window.
He had attracted the attention of PSG in the summer transfer window and reports claim that the French side returned for him in January.
Spurs still kept hold of him and he is now reemerging from his poor start to the campaign.
Speaking about his teammate’s resurgence, Lloris says that Alli was very professional throughout his time out of the team.
He then claimed that as the transfer window closed, Alli knuckled down and applied himself even better to the team and has brought himself back into the reckoning.
‘Well, I don’t want to talk about January. It’s his personal situation and I don’t want to talk on behalf of the club, I’m not the right person to do it,’ the France goalkeeper said on Mail Sport.
‘As a team-mate, he’s always been professional, he put his disappointment on the side and from day one in the second part of the season, after the transfer market closed, he switched on and he started to step-by-step improve his fitness and get as much confidence as he can.
‘Now he’s coming back and that’s good for the team and obviously the best for the season is ahead of us.’
The attacker has returned to form at the right time, with Tottenham needing the best from all their players in the remaining games of the campaign.
