After spending the past couple of weeks linked with a move to Newcastle (whose chief scout has been tracking him for the past two years), MK Dons 18-year-old midfielder Dele Alli has signed for Tottenham Hotspur for £5million. The player - roundly called the next Steven Gerrard - as now completed his move to the London side and will be loaned back to MK Dons for the remainder of the season. He's already scored 12 goals for the side, and by all accounts he is a stunning acquisition for Mauricio Pochettino, who will be able to call him into the first team picture next season. The reason behind the collapse of the Newcastle move is unclear, but when it's Newcastle you can usually bet it's got something to do with haggling over the final few pennies. But their loss is very firmly to Spurs' advantage, and provided he is given the opportunities he's being promised at Spurs, it's a good move for the player too.
