Everton have opened talks with Tottenham over a permanent deal for midfielder Dele Alli.
Everton already have two domestic loans and are hopeful of signing England international Alli on a reduced fee reflecting his role on the periphery at Tottenham over recent seasons.
The 25-year-old has failed to reignite his stalling career in north London under Antonio Conte, scoring just one goal in 10 Premier League games this season.
Sportsmail understands a deal between the clubs is 'possible', but Tottenham would need to reasonable in their valuation to make it happen despite their willingness to let him go to another Premier League side or abroad.
