A number of Newcastle United fans have given their thoughts on Tottenham Hotspur reportedly making Dele Alli available on loan.

The Magpies have been linked with the Spurs midfielder for a number of months, and it looks as though he could be available in January.

According to Sky Sports, Tottenham are willing to listen to loan offers for Alli in the upcoming transfer window.

Once a key player for Spurs, the 25-year-old has found himself on the fringes of the starting XI for some time.

Last season, Alli seriously struggled for game time under former Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho.

Indeed, he was reportedly close to leaving in January amid links with Mauricio Pochettino’s Paris Saint-Germain.

Earlier this term, Nuno Espirito Santo reinstated Alli back to the starting XI, and he did well initially.

However, this didn’t last, and Alli soon found himself warming the bench once again, with the odd cameo.

Antonio Conte hasn’t been giving the England international much game time either.

In October, Spain’s SPORT claimed Newcastle want to bring Alli to St James’ Park in January.

The Magpies have plenty of financial muscle but they also need to be realistic in terms of who they could bring in to fight relegation.
