The January window opens in a few days, and it seems as though Dele Alli’s time with Tottenham Hotspur is coming to an end. Spurs reportedly are open to letting the 25-year-old depart.
One of the clubs now eyeing Alli is West Ham United. According to Eurosport, The Hammers view Alli as a possible alternative if they cannot land Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard.
West Ham, like Tottenham, is in the middle of a fight for a top-four spot in the Premier League and qualified for the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League. So Alli would have plenty of opportunities to resurrect his past form and remain in London, should that be important to him.
Alli needs to find a team willing to take a chance on him and provide playing time as the midfielder hopes to find his way back into the England national team, with 2022 being a World Cup year.
Furthermore, it seems as though it’s best for both parties to part ways. So Tottenham can proceed with their project under Managing Director of Football Fabio Paratici and manager Antonio Conte.
