Tottenham star Dele Alli told to keep his edge but warned against 'silly' moment by club legend Ledley King

Tottenham legend Ledley King has told Dele Alli that his temperament should continue to make up an important part of his game, but urged the youngster to control his aggression on the pitch.

Alli has become one of the Premier League's standout stars after making his debut in October 2015 and was handed the Player of the Month award for January after scoring three successive braces.

He now has 21 goals to show from his 57 League appearances but also has 11 yellow cards in the same time. While he has never been sent off, Alli was given a three-match ban last season after television cameras revealed he had punched West Brom star Claudio Yacob during a match.
