Harry Redknapp has urged Dele Alli to ignore all distractions around him and get his head down and concentrate on his football.
The former MK Dons man has now fallen out of favour at Tottenham with Jose Mourinho leaving him out of most games that Tottenham play in.
The attacking midfielder was one of the first names on the team sheet from the time that he broke into the first team in 2015.
He had also been one of the trusted players when Mourinho first became the club’s manager.
However, after his lacklustre performance in Tottenham’s 1-0 loss to Everton in the opening Premier League game of the season, the Englishman has consistently been dropped.
His performance level hasn’t been good enough, claims Mourinho and Redknapp has now said the Englishman needs to concentrate on his football and get his career back on track.
He claimed that Mourinho works with him every day and he sees if the Englishman is doing enough to play or not.
“He’s got to be careful,” he said on Talksport.
“He is maybe at a little bit of crossroads at the moment.
“Who knows what goes on behind closed?
“Jose sees him every day. There’s obviously something he don’t like that’s going on there and that’s why he’s dropped him out of the squad.
“Whatever it is, I think Dele needs to get back to the player we know he can be.
“He needs to get his head down, concentrate on his football because when he’s playing well he’s a fantastic player.”
