MICAH RICHARDS: Frank Lampard can help Dele Alli dream of England again at Everton... what an opportunity the former Tottenham player has at Goodison Park - he must take it with both hands

‘One man I am prepared to put my neck on the line for is Dele Alli. He is going to be a massive player for Spurs again. I’m not saying he’ll be back in the England side or anything like that but I believe he will show his best form.’

That statement was made by yours truly on the opening day of this season. Dele is a player I’ve always loved to watch and I have great belief in his ability. I won’t try to kid you and say his form since then has been outstanding because, quite obviously, it hasn’t been good enough.
