5 best midfielders in the Premier League at the moment

#2 Dele Alli

Dele Alli along with Harry Kane will be crucial to Tottenham's title challenge this season

"We've got Alli, Dele Alli, I just don't think you understand, he cost us 5 mil, he is better than Ozil, we've got Dele Alli"

Tottenham fans take great pleasure in belting out this chant at every given opportunity and Dele Alli with his stupendous performances last season has justified the chant. Two-time PFA young player of the season and part of the PFA team of the year, Dele Alli had a stunning 2016/17 season.Having scored an incredible 18 goals in the Premier League, Alli along with Kane and Eriksen have made Tottenham genuine title contenders.

In fact, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has been so impressed with his performances, that he even compared the young Englishman to Neymar in terms of potential. Speaking to beIN Sports, Pochettino said:

“I think Dele Alli has a personality completely different maybe to Neymar. I think he’s a special player too. I don’t know if he’s in this level yet but the potential will be like him or better.”

It will be interesting to see whether Dele Alli will be able to maintain his high level of performances this season.
