Dele Alli’s mooted loan move to Paris Saint Germain is still a distinct possibility, despite their being just days to run until the Premier League’s summer transfer window closes. A source close to Tottenham Hotspur believes that the French giants are currently keen to work out a split on our 24-year-old’s wages, and that Spurs ideally want 100% of Dele’s salary covered.
My own speculation is that Mourinho is happy for Dele to stay at Spurs, however, only on the proviso that he comes to train, and not his brother. Equally, José is concerned about his squad’s wage bill and doesn’t need £100,000 a week tied up on a boy that isn’t playing.
Daniel Levy has played a blinder so far, working our extended payment plans with other clubs in order to get the Portuguese what he needs. Fingers crossed there are no pieces of the puzzle missing, or opportunities missed due to sentimentalism.
