Dele Alli continues to go through a ‘rough time’ with Jose Mourinho. Once again, he’s been urged to make a decision on his Tottenham future.

Dele Alli has once again been urged to leave Tottenham. This is the opinion of talkSPORT host Adrian Durham.

The 24-year-old has seen a torrid time under Spurs boss Jose Mourinho.

So far this season, Alli has only managed 71 minutes of Premier League football in total. He has also been substituted at half time on two occasions.

Over the summer, reports claimed the midfielder was close to an exit from Tottenham. The likes of Real Madrid and PSG were the names mentioned but a deal never happened.

Ahead of the January window, Durham has urged Alli to consider an exit once again. With talk of Ole Solskjaer potentially getting the axe and being replaced by Mauricio Pochettino, there could be a window of opportunity for the midfielder.

“Now has come the time to break the ties with Tottenham Hotspur and move on for a different challenge, wherever that may be,” Durham said to talkSPORT.

“If there is a vacancy at Man United and Pochettino gets the job, I can see him taking Dele Alli there and revitalising him.”

“Dele Alli has had his football heart broken by Jose Mourinho.”

“What Jose needs to do to take the steps forward to take Tottenham where he wants to go, then there will be collateral damage along the way – and Dele Alli is part of that.”

“So Dele Alli now has to sit down and look at himself and say, ‘hang on a minute, I have been, in my time, one of the Premier League’s better players. For a couple of seasons I was magnificent, and I want to get back to that. So I need to seek a move.”

“Whether that is abroad or to another Premier League club – whatever it is – clearly Mourinho doesn’t want him, so he won’t care where he goes.”

“And I don’t think Mourinho will stand in his way either.”

“I think they’d even accept something like £30/£25m for him.”
