Besiktas pushing to sign Dele Alli from Everton

Dele Alli can leave Everton just months after joining the Merseyside club in January.

According to The Athletic, Besiktas are pushing hard to sign the 26-year-old, and Everton would apparently be prepared to let him go.

Alli joined Everton from Tottenham on an initial free transfer, but Spurs could receive up to £40m if certain objectives were met.

That won't happen if he moves to Turkey, though. The first £10m of his transfer fee would be paid after he made 20 appearances for Everton. So far, he has played just 13 games, failing to score once.

This is a remarkable downfall for Alli who was the best young player in the league just five years ago and made 37 England appearances - but none since 2019.
