Harry Kane has paid a warm tribute to former team-mate Dele Alli after the midfielder left Tottenham to join Everton on transfer deadline day.
The 25-year-old has brought an end to his seven-year association with the north London club, having joined as a teenager from MK Dons for £5million in 2015.
Alli has penned a two-and-a-half-year contract at Goodison Park to link up with new Everton boss Frank Lampard, who was announced hours earlier Rafa Benitez’s successor.
The deal has been structured to allow Alli to leave on a free transfer, with significant bonus payments included that could reportedly net Spurs up to £40m.
Kane and Alli shared a fruitful attacking partnership in the early years of Mauricio Pochettino’s reign, with the pair bagging 57 goals between them in the 2016-17 campaign in all competitions.
And the England international sent a farewell message to his compatriot after his departure was made official just minutes before the transfer deadline on January 31.
“Good luck on your next chapter @dele_official,” Kane wrote on his official Twitter account.
“We’ve had some great memories together over the past 7 years.
“Thank you for everything you have given me and the club! See you soon.”
While Alli was still adored by the club’s supporters, he had been frozen out under managers
