Alli: Leaving Spurs is always an option

Cape Town - Tottenham star Dele Alli admits he would consider a move away from the club even though he says it's exciting to be part of the project in north London.

The England international left MK Dons three years ago to join Spurs and has since become a regular starter under manager Mauricio Pochettino.

He has racked up 146 appearances in all competitions for Pochettino's side, scoring 46 goals and providing 41 assists.

Despite an underwhelming 2017/18 season, which saw him score only nine Premier League goals compared to 18 in the previous campaign, Alli has been linked with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United.

"I'd never say never to anything," he told ES Magazine. "You never know what is going to happen in football.

"I have still got a few years left on my contract. We have got a young team, a young manager, a new stadium, so it is a great place to be at the minute.

"All the players can see the way the club is heading. But you can't look into the future too much as it takes the pleasure out of now."
