Dele Alli is again fighting to save his career because his move to Everton has not worked out.
Alli has made just six substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Blues and has yet to start a game for boss Frank Lampard. Alli had hoped moving to Merseyside in January on a free would enable him to kickstart his career which had stalled so badly at Tottenham.
But if anything, his prospects have nosedived further and at least he started 13 games before heading to the North West. Alli, 25, is still no closer to playing regular first-team football and Lampard has delivered him a stark warning. Lampard has told the former England playmaker he must work hard in training to convince him that he can play a part in Everton’s fight for survival.
