Lo Celso’s injury playing a role in Dele Alli’s future

Tottenham is reluctant to allow Dele Alli to leave the club this month because of the injury to Giovani Lo Celso.

Alli hasn’t been in the first-team picture at Tottenham for much of this season, and this month offers him the chance to change teams.

PSG is one team with a strong interest in his signature, but Mail Sport says Spurs are worried about being short of options in their midfield if they allow Alli to leave.

Lo Celso is yet to recover from the injury he picked up against Leicester City last year, and Alli is one of the few players that the club can turn to when any of their current starters becomes unavailable.

He needs to play often in this second half of the season because he wants to be a part of the England squad for the Euros later this year.

However, the report says Levy isn’t willing to sanction a January transfer for him while Lo Celso is unavailable.

Alli looked back to his best in Tottenham’s 5-0 win over Marine in the FA Cup and Jose Mourinho even confirmed that the Englishman is now back in his plans.

He was, however, dropped for the next game against Fulham in the Premier League.

The midfielder has been silent about his current predicament, but he will be keen to his career back on track, either with Tottenham or at another club.
