Dele Alli – Tottenham
Trending
For anyone who closely followed the Premier League football this season, Dele Alli needs no introduction. Transferred for a fee of just £5m, The Milton Keynes-born midfielder has been one of the best bargain buys of the Premier League in recent times.
The 19-year-old needed no time settling in as he has bossed the midfield for the North London side week in week out. Such was the dynamism he instilled to the young and vibrant Tottenham side that Alli was called for the England National team just nine games into his Premier League career.
A box-to-box midfielder by trade, Alli has produced some of the finest belters of the season. However, the stunner against Crystal Palace in the dying minutes of the game, which is also a contender for the goal of the season, takes the cake. He has also been incredible in the creativity department, having bagged 11 assists in all competitions.
Alli’s ability to read the game and make those audacious runs into the opposition box have not gone unnoticed and comparisons with Frank Lampard were inevitable. Win the award or not, this young lad is definitely one for the future.
