Dele Alli names the player at Tottenham he had a ‘telepathic’ understanding with 

Dele Alli has claimed he had a ‘telepathic’ understanding with one of his former Tottenham Hotspur teammates.

We’ve seen some excellent partnerships at Tottenham over the years but none stand above Harry Kane and Heung-min Son.

The duo currently hold the Premier League record for combined goals as they linked♏ up 47 times duringꦰ their time at Spurs together.

Of course, Kane has since moved on but the duo formed part of the best ಌSpurs side weඣ’ve seen over the past 20 years.

Under Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham challenged for the league title on two occasions and even reached a Champions League final back in 2019.

While Kane and Son were undoubtedly key for Spurs at the time, Dele Alli💛 was also a player 💝who provided in the final third regularly.

At the peওak of his powers, he netted 🎐21 times and provided 10 assists during the 2016-17 campaign.

And his partnership with Christian Eriksen was aꦗ hu𓆏ge reason behind his excellent record in front of goal.

Dele on his ‘telepathic’ understanding with Christian Eriksen

Speaking on , Dele discussed his partnership🔜 wiꦦth Eriksen.

“This is where it started a♔nd took off [Spurs win over Chelsea where Dele scored],” he said. “Every time he got the ball I would know it was coming in with quality and where to run. It was like🍬 telepathic.

“It was my trademark 🎀run in behind and I know certain plaꦫyers who would look and play that ball. A lot of the time the ball came with quality.”

E🔯riksen left Spurs back in January 2020 as he completed a switch to Inter Milan. 

The Dane was exceptional during his time at💜 🉐Tottenham and was often the player to pick out Dele’s trademark runs in behind opposition defences.

With his co♕ntract set to expire this ꦦsummer, Dele looks set to leave Goodison Park and he admitted last night that he wants to remain in the Premier League.
