Dele Alli has been in fine form this season, picking up where he left off after a great showing last season. Recently he’s been in such a rich vein of form that current Swansea boss – and former assistant coach at Real Madrid – Paul Clement has stated that he’d fit in well at the Bernabeu.
In Saturday’s game against Burnley, Alli was absolutely fantastic, and after a flat first half for the side it was largely his contribution that allowed them to finally break the Burnley resistance and pick up the all-important win. Alli’s pass set up the key second goal for Son Heung-Min, in fact.

With some huge games coming up, it’s important for Spurs’ title challenge that Alli keeps up this type of form and there doesn’t seem to be any reason – barring an injury – why he wouldn’t. Statistically, he’s already improved on last season, scoring 14 goals in the league to last season’s 10 and while he hasn’t had quite as many assists, his successful pass percentage has improved.
The fact that he seems to have an almost telepathic relationship with the soon-to-return Harry Kane only helps matters.
