Spurs' Dele Alli should be on senior POTY shortlist, not youth award again

This is a modal window.

At 21-years-old, Dele Alli is quickly becoming one of the Premier League's best, but can he one day be the world's best?

When it comes to Dele Alli, there is no rush. The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder turned 21 on Tuesday and he has plenty of time to win trophies and personal accolades. Indeed, he is a shoo-in to retain the PFA Young Player of the Year award, having been confirmed on this season's shortlist alongside teammate Harry Kane, and he could conceivably win it five years in a row. Burnley's Michael Keane is also among the nominees, with Romelu Lukaku, Jordan Pickford and Leroy Sane.
