Besiktas star Nathan Redmond has launched a firm defence of Dele Alli and believes his team-mate has 'been under a lot more scrutiny than others' in recent years.
Dele joined Everton from Tottenham Hotspur in January 2022 and made 11 appearances, but just one start, for the Goodison Park club last season. He then made two substitute outings - in league defeats against Chelsea and Aston Villa - for the Blues at the start of this season.
A two-time winner of the PFA's Young Player of the Year award, the England international did not score or register an assist in 13 games for the Blues. And following a slow start to the campaign, Everton allowed Dele to depart the club, joining Besiktas on a season-long loan deal before the closure of the summer transfer window.
