Dele Alli’s dream five-a-side team features four Tottenham Hotspur legends
Dele Alli has been asked to choose an ideal five-a-side team from the players he played with over the course of his career, and the team is dominated by his former Tottenham teammates.
Dele was a key part of the Mauricio Pochettino revolution at Tottenham Hotspur, with the attacking midfielder being part of a Spurs side stacked with world-class talent.
The team came close to winning the biggest honours in the game, and one can argue that it is among the best sides ever assembled to have not won silverware.
The midfielder, who is now looking to get his career back on track at Como, understandably has fond memories of his time at N17 and the players he shared a dressing room with, naming several of them in his dream side.
Dele Alli names dream five-a-side team of former teammates
The 29-year-old has played with some big names for England, but he chose to name four of his former Tottenham teammates in his dream five-a-side team.
Hugo Lloris, Kyle Walker, Mousa Dembele and Harry Kane were the four Spurs representatives, while the midfielder also named one of his former Three Lions teammates to round out the side.
When asked to pick a five-a-side team consisting of former teammates, Dele told TuttoMercatoWeb: “I put Hugo Lloris in goal. In defence, Kyle Walker. Mousa Dembélé must be there. Harry Kane.
“It’s becoming a Tottenham team, isn’t it? Only one is missing, who do I put in? I would say Jadon Sancho. He grew up playing football in the street like me. He would be the perfect addition to the team.”
Two surprising Tottenham omissions in Dele’s side
One can understand why Dele named Kyle Walker as his defender, given the former Spurs man’s recovery pace.
However, many will feel that Jan Vertonghen may be more deserving of a place, given his ability on the ball and the consistency he showed across his time in the Premier League.
Dele’s good friend, Heung-min Son, is perhaps also a surprise omission, especially given the understanding the South Korean has with Harry Kane.
