Dele Alli’s dramatic decline has come as a huge surprise, but Besiktas are still hopeful the former Tottenham midfielder can turn things around in Turkey, according to the club’s sporting director.
Alli joined Besiktas on a season-long loan deal from Everton back in August in a bid to revive his career. The 26-year-old only joined Everton from Tottenham in January, but failed to make an impact on Merseyside in just 13 appearances and moved once again.
He has scored twice in eight appearances for the Turkish side so far, but has only been used as a bit-part player in the league. Alli is yet to complete 90 minutes in the Super Lig this season and Besiktas sporting director Ceyhun Kazanci admitted some doubt about his summer loan signing.
