‘Could be disastrous for the dressing room’: Some Spurs fans worried about report on £100k-a-week player

A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have given their thoughts on the report in The Telegraph claiming Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is still refusing to sanction a loan move for Dele Alli.

The future of the 24-year-old at Spurs remains uncertain, with Jose Mourinho seemingly having run out of patience with him, but Levy remains a big fan of the player.

Alli has made just six starts for Tottenham this season and, worse still, has twice been replaced at half-time, coming off against Everton in the Premier League and Antwerp in the Europa League.

Although he got 65 minutes under his belt against Marine in the FA Cup last week, he was once again left on the bench for the entirety of the Fulham game, despite Spurs desperate for more creativity in the middle of the park later on.

While Alli is a long way out of favour under Mourinho currently, having played not a single Premier League minute in almost a month, The Telegraph says there is no prospect of the £100,000-a-week man being allowed to go to PSG unless there is an English replacement.

Europa League rules require squads to include eight homegrown players of which four must have been trained at the club in question, and Levy apparently fears Tottenham’s Premier League and European squads short in the event of an injury crisis or illness outbreak.

And Spurs fans are getting frustrated over this stalemate to Alli’s detriment, as can be seen below in some of the social media reaction to the report:
