da spicy bet： As reported by The Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur are hopeful of signing up Dele Alli to a new contract.
What’s the story?
da brwin： For a club like Spurs, when players produce excellent performances and find consistent form, it inevitably leads to speculation that these stars will move away from the club for riches elsewhere.
In an effort to combat that, it’s important they sign their players up to contracts that keep them happy and focused on life in London.
To that end, Spurs are set to offer Dele Alli a pay rise, despite him signing a six-year deal with the club just last year.
That’s according to The Telegraph who say that the club are confident they can add an extra year to the attacking midfielder’s contract while bumping his pay from £50,000 to £80,000.
The paper reckon that’s in an effort to protect the club from unrealistic demands down the line, or in the wake of a storming performance for England at next year’s World Cup.
Worth it?
It might seem odd for a club to scramble to offer a player a new contract just 12 months after a six-year deal, but frankly Dele Alli is worth making a fuss over considering the talent he has and the potential player he could yet become.
It’s easy to forget, but he’s still just 21 years of age and could still improve beyond his form of last season which saw him score 22 goals and create 13 assists for his teammates.
That kind of contribution is going to be integral if Mauricio Pochettino’s team is going to achieve their ambitions of winning serious silverware and it’s worth paying for.
