Everton are🌸 being linked with a January loan move forꩲ Dele Alli.

, the Toffees are looking into the possibility of taking the 24-year-old for the rest of the 2020/21 season, or h🍌is teammate Harry Winks.

Dele has endured a really tough season so far, and has regularly been omitted from matchday squads by J🐎ose Mourinho.

There has been ꧟plenty of ﷽speculation about his immediate future as a result, and it will be very interesting to see what happens with him next month.

It could be that Everton land the 37🅺-cap England intern♕ational, and Murphy thinks that particular deal could be great for the Toffees.

: “If you throw Dele Alli at his best into the mix with Rich𒈔arlison, James [Rodriguez] and [Dominic] Cal🐼vert-Lewin, that starts to sound very appealing.

“What does Dele bring you when he’s at it? Tremendous movement off the ball. Good finisher. Good awareness in the box – assists were high in hi🔜s first few seasons for Tottenham.

“He’s not become a bad player overnight.”

Murphy then added he was basing his opinion off his footballing talent, and that it⛎ wou🍒ld only make sense for Everton if the player’s mindset was right.

TBR’s View – A risk worth taking for Everton

Dele got on for a cameo against 🐽Crystal Palace, but it has really seemed that Mourinho doesn’t fancy him this season.

A move to Everton, therefore, could well have legs, although Pari🦂s Saint-Germain are said to ꦚbe lurking.

By all accounts, Carlo Ancelott൲i is an exc🥀ellent man-manager as well as an astute tactician.

He could well be the man to put an arm around £100,000-a-we𝄹ek star Dele () and breathe new life into his career – that is something he really seems to need right now.
