Tottenham transfer news: Dele Alli faces anxious wait with PSG loan set to go to the wire
The England international is hoping to seal a switch to the Ligue 1 giants
Dele Alli faces an anxious wait to see whether his loan move to PSG goes through before Monday’s transfer deadline.
Alli has been linked with a loan move to the Parc des Princes throughout the January window, which shuts at 11pm on Monday.
The England international has been frozen out at Tottenham by Jose Mourinho this season.
Alli has not started a Premier League game since the opening weekend of the campaign.
Mauricio Pochettino, who was appointed as Thomas Tuchel’s successor as PSG boss last month, is keen to be reunited with Alli in the French capital.
The player himself is also said to be keen on a move as he seeks more regular first-team football ahead of this summer’s European Championship.
And Mourinho is also happy to let Alli leave, having only handed him 75 minutes of Premier League action this term.
