Dele Alli’s recent performances have caused quite a stir.
Last season’s PFA Young Player of the Year has scored seven goals in his last four games, form which has unsurprisingly seen him linked with Real Madrid by the Mirror.
In order to prove their ambition is more than just rhetoric, Tottenham desperately need to keep hold of the starlet.
Chairman Daniel Levy has finally been made to cave on his stance that he would not pay players six-figure salaries, and Alli could be the latest test of that resolve, according to the Daily Mail.
Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris have joined the £100,000 club at Spurs, and although Alli is just 20-years-old, he could cause Levy to push his wage bill up even further.
The Mail report that Spurs are happy that they have the financial clout to convince their big names to stay, but of course, they also need to match that with success on the pitch.
Mauricio Pochettino is keen that Spurs prove themselves as a club who are building for the future. While in the past, stars like Gareth Bale, Dimitar Berbatov, and Luka Modric have all moved on, they are determined that this time the project will be different, even if it’s going to cost them huge weekly salaries to do so.
