Dele Alli vows to 'make improvements, not excuses' in cryptic Instagram post as Tottenham outcast shows off home workout routine as he bids to win back a place in Jose Mourinho's team

Dele Alli has shown he is ready for the fight at Tottenham after promising to 'make improvements, not excuses' in his latest Instagram post.

The cryptic message, which has been seen as a motivational tool having found himself out of favour under Jose Mourinho, accompanied a photo of Alli undertaking a strength and balance workout at his London home.

Alli, 24, has featured in just two Premier League games so far and has failed to earn a spot in the matchday squad for Spurs' last four matches.

Despite falling out of favour with the Spurs boss, Alli was not allowed to leave the club on loan

He was hooked at half-time in the season opener against Everton and came off the bench during the 6-1 hammering of Manchester United at Old Trafford.
