New Everton manager Frank Lampard has backed Dele Alli to get back to the top but admits it will take time for his transfer deadline day signing to hit the heights again.
Back in 2018, the famous CIES Football Observatory in Switzerland calculated that the then Tottenham Hotspur star was the most expensive midfielder in the world based on his contemporary transfer value but after some lean years since, Alli, still only 25, has joined Everton, initially on a free transfer.
A highly-structured deal could ultimately see the Blues paying £40million for the England international’s services but if they do end up shelling out that much it will be because Alli has achieved great things with them.
