How Tottenham star Dele Alli is now one of the hottest properties on the planet

With every passing game, Dele Alli's stock continues to rise.

The Tottenham midfielder ended Chelsea's 13-game winning streak with two perfect headers in Spurs' 2-0 victory at White Hart Lane on Wednesday, which only served to shine the spotlight brighter on a player who has rapidly become one of the Premier League's poster boys.

This, remember, is a young man who, less than 20 months ago, was playing for Milton Keynes Dons in League One. Now he's one of the hottest properties on the planet.
