Eric Dier says his friend Dele Alli's future at Tottenham is still in his own hands.
Alli's situation at Spurs looks bleak having fallen out of favour under boss Jose Mourinho this season and he was linked with a move away from the club during the recent transfer window.
He has made just three starts so far and has not made it past half-time on two of them as Mourinho takes a ruthless stance.
It is a huge fall from grace for the 24-year-old, who was one of Europe's best young players when he burst into Tottenham's side, but Dier, who is big mates with Alli, is backing him to recover.
