The old saying goes that Christmas is a time for spreading love and cheer, and one of this year's more heart-warming stories has revealed the generosity of Tottenham star Dele Alli.
The England midfielder endured a troubled childhood as his mother battled her alcohol addiction, but having moved into his best friend's house as a 13-year-old, Alli has repaid the favour by offering him a place to stay.
The former MK Dons midfielder owns a £2million mansion following his meteoric rise into one of the country's most promising talents, but Alli has clearly not forgotten his roots.
