  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Alli admitted he was leaving Everton earlier this month for "exciting opportunities" elsewhere.

  Dele has had a difficult few years, with spells at Everton and Besiktas doing nothing to breathe life into his struggling career. The former England international will hope he return to his best and has even targeted a spot in the Three Lions 2026 World Cup squad.
