Dele Alli signs new Tottenham deal
Dele Alli has agreed a new Tottenham contract, tying him to the club until 2022.
In an indication of the 20-year-old’s importance to Mauricio Pochettino’s team, Alli has already been handed improved terms at White Hart Lane despite earning a new five-year deal in January.
