20 transfers that were hijacked by clubs: Part 2

Dele Alli

Alli was close to signing for Liverpool

The PFA Young Player of the Year in the 2015-16 season, Dele Alli was once close to joining Liverpool. Alli was playing for MK Dons when Liverpool came calling for the player. The then manager, Karl Robinson, was a big Liverpool fan, so when he heard about Liverpool's interest in the player, he decided to do all he could to make the move happen.

There have been multiple reports as to why the transfer didn’t go through. While some claim Spurs offered a higher transfer fee, others state the deal simply couldn’t be completed in time which allowed the North Londoners to take advantage and swoop in.
