Tottenham need Dele Alli to recapture his form quickly

With Harry Kane currently sidelined through injury for Tottenham, the likes of Heung-Min Son and Christian Eriksen have really stepped up to the plate to continue delivering on the pitch.

Spurs still have a race to finish in the top four of the Premier League this season, while they also have a Champions League semi-final showdown with Ajax ahead too.

The North London club need their elite players shining through and that is why Dele Alli needs to snap out of his mini blip right now.

Alli is without a goal or assist in his last five games across all competitions, albeit three of them have come against Manchester City.

The 23-year-old is an attacking midfielder that needs to chip in with goals to help fill the Kane void and he’s not quite been as influential as usual since returning from a thigh injury.

Spurs host Brighton on Tuesday night in the league and it’s vital to earn three points to strengthen their position in the top four.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side are likely to face a stubborn Brighton defence in midweek and could do with their playmaker to unlock the door.

England international Alli is capable on his day of winning top-flight games by himself and it’s something fans are desperate to see.

The £100,000-a-week ace (Spotrac) has seen his season disrupted several times by injuries, but Pochettino needs him now in the latter stages.
