Could this emerging Spurs favourite really be heading for Real Madrid?

When Dele Alli first burst onto the scene down at White Hart Lane just a short matter of seasons ago, very with within the wider English footballing community could have ever expected the 20-year-old midfielder to take to life among the Premier League with such confidence and vigour.

 

Alli’s recent emergence in front of the Tottenham Hotspur faithful seemingly hasn’t gone unnoticed across the continent however. If a series of recent reports are to be taken at face value, none other than Real Madrid themselves could reportedly be interested in capturing the up and coming Spurs favourite in the not too distant future – possibly paving the way for yet another big money move between the two clubs.

 

 

This is obviously not the kind of story that Spurs fans want to hear right about now…

 

I can already hear the sobs of Spurs fans as Dele Alli completes his £60m move to Real Madrid next summer.

…even if the possible riches on offer may be tempting…

 

Spurs signed Dele Alli for £5m. Imagine the profit when they sell him to Real Madrid ?

But will Tottenham really keep hold of their man if Real Madrid are serious in their interest…?

 

If Real Madrid are actually interested in Dele Alli I guarantee Tottenham will sell him

…most Spurs supporters would be left gutted by such an outcome of course…

 

If we sell Dele Alli to Real Madrid, I'll quit football.

Yet as the likes of Gareth Bale and Luka Modric have already made the switch from White Hart Lane to the Bernabeu…

 

Dele Alli is just so good. He needs to come to Madrid.

…and Real Madrid certainly don’t mind splashing out on a big deal every now and then…

 

If Dele Alli has two good seasons, that idiot Perez will fork out €80million for him to Madrid.

…maybe it’s only a matter of time before Tottenham are forced to wave goodbye to the up and coming young England international…

 

Dele Alli loves a wave…. #GOAT #COYS (Vine by @SpursFunnies) https://t.co/c1QD6icz8x
