‘Oh my god’, ‘he’s good’: Some Spurs fans wowed by 25-year-old in training

Spurs fans have praised Dele Alli after the Tottenham Twitter feed shared footage of two impressive training-ground goals he netted on Friday.

The 25-year-old has been a regular starter for most of his time at N17, but last season didn’t exactly go to plan for him.

Alli struggled for game time under former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho and was reportedly close to moving to PSG on loan in January.

He also dropped out of England contention, with Gareth Southgate omitting him from his last few squads and for Euro 2020.

The 25-year-old has played the full 90 minutes in each of Tottenham’s three Premier League games so far this season.

He also scored the winner against Wolves, contributing to Spurs’ rise to the top of the fledgling table.

At Friday’s pre-Crystal Palace press conference, Nuno Alli “has goals in him”.
