Nobody expected the rise of Dele Alli when Spurs snapped him up from MK Dons last year. It’s been seen so many times before - the club sign up a promising asset from a lower league club only for him to rot away in the reserves and never to be heard from again.

Alli wasn’t keen to wait around however, and set about tearing up the script as soon as he arrived. Slotting into the midfield with ease, he set about dictating the play and tempo of the game as though he had been in the Premier League for ten years rather than minutes. He would go on to play 46 times for Spurs over the course of the season, scoring 10 goals, and nailed down a berth in the England midfield ahead of Euro 2016.

This kid is worthy of an upgrade.
