Dele Alli is reportedly facing the axe at Everton - just months after he was rescued from his Tottenham hell by Frank Lampard.
Alli was out in the cold at Spurs before Lampard rolled the dice to bring the midfielder to Merseyside in an eleventh hour deal in January less in one of his first acts at the club. The move was deemed a risk given the England international's remarkable drop-off in form over the past couple of years.
Both Alli and Lampard were adamant that a fresh start at Goodison Park could help the midfielder reinvigorate his career - but already that early optimism is looking alarmingly wide of the mark.
