After such a frustrating couple of seasons in north London, transfer deadline day saw Dele Alli bid farewell to Tottenham after seven years with the club. A key component in Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs team in their pomp as they challenged for the Premier League, it appeared that the attacking midfielder would be a permanent fixture in their plans for years to come.

Hit by a number of hamstring injuries from 2018 onwards, as well as a huge drop in form in Pochettino's final few months in charge and then Jose Mourinho's tenure, it became clear for all to see that the 25-year-old needed a fresh challenge if he was to hit his previous heights once again. With time running out until the transfer deadline and Alli looking like he might remain at Tottenham for the remainder of the season, Everton eventually came calling and signed the ex-MK Dons man on a two-and-a-half year contract.

It was a move many believed would rejuvenate a player who had lost his way, especially with Alli able to learn from the experience of Frank Lampard and add to his game. However, the transfer has yet to take off and Everton more than ever need Alli to rediscover his mojo as they bid to keep their place in the top flight.
