Dele Alli, Tottenham Reportedly Close to Agreeing to New Long-Term Contract

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli is reportedly close to signing a new long-term contract with the club.

The 22-year-old still has four years left to run on his current deal with the north London team, but according to Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports he is on the brink of signing fresh terms after "indicating his desire to stay."

"Talks have been ongoing for several months over Alli following the likes of his manager Mauricio Pochettino and striker Harry Kane in recommitting to Spurs," continued the report.

Injury issues have limited Alli to four Premier League starts so far this season, but since moving to Tottenham from MK Dons in 2015 he has become a crucial player in Pochettino's side.
