There seems to be no way back for Dele Alli at Tottenham under Jose Mourinho - but a January loan move to Paris Saint-Germain may just be the perfect way out.
The 24-year-old midfielder made his feelings to the Spurs manager very clear during Thursday night's Europa League win over Royal Antwerp - storming down the tunnel when it became apparent he would not be brought on.
This latest omission appears to be the final straw. The Antwerp fixture was a dead-rubber fixture with Spurs already through to the knockout stages, but it sums up a bigger issue.
