Dele Alli
January 2026
Dele reportedly has four offers from La Liga clubs as he looks for a restart after a short Como spell ended and his game time has been near zero for almost three years. Injuries derailed his Everton return and he left in 2024, joined Como late in 2024, then saw his lone appearance end in a red card before his deal was terminated, leaving him to rebuild fitness independently and pick a Spanish landing spot.

The former England and Tottenham star is a free agent and struggling to attract interest after an injury-ravaged spell at Everton, a failed loan at Besiktas, and a single, red-carded cameo for Como that ended with his deal being torn up. Ex-Spurs defender Stephen Carr says Alli is in “last chance saloon”, warning his lack of games has left his body unaccustomed to elite intensity, making injuries and rust likely and meaning he may now have to accept trial spells and prove he still has the hunger.

Dele Alli’s career crisis deepened as his contract with Serie A side Como was terminated after only one appearance. His brief Italian stint, meant to revive his spark, ended abruptly following a red card on debut and continued struggles on and off the pitch. The former Tottenham star, once tipped for greatness, has barely played since an underwhelming loan at Besiktas in 2023. With form and fitness elusive, he faces another uncertain chapter. Roberto Di Matteo urged him to enjoy life despite his dramatic fall from promise.

Dele Alli’s first match in 748 days ended just nine minutes after coming on, as VAR upgraded his yellow card to a red for a foul on Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Walker tried to intervene out of personal loyalty.
Walker admitted he wouldn’t have defended anyone else, but his history with Dele at Spurs and England made him try. Dele, returning after years of career and personal struggles, was likely overzealous in stopping a counterattack. His comeback under Cesc Fàbregas was cut short in heartbreaking fashion.
