'He needs to realise' - Dele Alli message sent as Everton midfielder looks to bounce back again

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood has backed Dele Alli to make an extraordinary U-turn and get his career back on track after struggling to make an impact at both Everton and Besiktas.

The 27-year-old made the move to Goodison Park in January 2022, ending his seven-year stint with Tottenham Hotspur, who he joined at the age of 18. Dele initially arrived at Everton on a free transfer with the Blues only required to pay add-on fees once certain performance-related clauses had been met.

Of those clauses, one would see a £10m payment made if he tallied 20 appearances for the club. However, after making just 13 Premier League outings under Lampard last season, in August the 27-year-old was shipped out to Turkish outfit Besiktas on a season-long loan.
