Everton boss Frank Lampard has been instructed to sell midfielder Dele Alli before the add-ons in his deal kick in by ex-Toffees star Richard Dunne.
Former Manchester City, Aston Villa and Republic of Ireland defender Dunne claims keeping hold of Alli only for the add-ons included in his January transfer from Tottenham to come into force would be foolish. Alli was signed by Frank Lampard for no initial fee midway through the season, but the nature of the potential future payments involved mean the deal could rise to as high as £40million depending on performance-based criteria.
One of those relates to when Alli plays 20 times for the Toffees; when that happens, Spurs will be owed £10million. Alli has 11 Everton appearances to his name so far, starting just one of those in the 5-1 defeat by Arsenal on the final day of the season.
