I take a view that this end-of-season note is designed to assure the next Tottenham coach that Dele is now aware that the days of not having to train well and still expect to match the starting XI are gone.

Will Dele Alli mount a serious challenge next season? Well that’s what we’ve been assured since he was 19, so what the heck, let’s roll the dice again, eh?
