Rio Ferdinand has issued a verbal shake-down to Tottenham star Dele Alli and urged the midfielder to take what could be his final chance in north London, under new manager Antonio Conte.
Alli is slowly slipping into obscurity at Tottenham and playing fewer games, to the point where he could not make the squad for Carabao Cup matches under previous manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Alli's alarming dip in form has seen him fall into international no-man's land with his position in the England senior squad now long since gone, but Ferdinand feels all hope is not lost.
