Kevin Thelwell makes admission about Dele Alli at Everton as Finch Farm update shared

Kevin Thelwell has shared the latest on the situation surrounding Dele Alli and revealed he would “dearly love” to see him play for Everton.

The 28-year-old has been training with the Blues after the expiry of his contract this summer and could be re-signed with a space available for Alli in the 25-man Premier League squad.

Giulia Bould quizzed the Everton chief for BBC Sport [20 September] about the former Tottenham man and whether the supporters can expect Alli to wear the famous blue shirt this season.

He said: “We very much hope so, I mean he’s worked and he’s continued to work very, very hard on the pitch to get himself into a place where he can physically get to playing. Our medical and sports science teams and the coaching teams are also working very, very hard with him. To try and get him in a space where he can get to play for Everton Football Club.

“We’re in a good space now with Spurs, we’ve got an agreement in place with those guys about what happens next if we re-sign him. He would dearly love to play for Everton in the Premier League and we’d dearly love that to happen as well because the boy’s had a very, very difficult time.

“So at this moment we’re not saying too much about him because we just want to keep the pressure off him but hopefully in due course he’ll get back to that space and we can get to see him do what he does best.”

Dele Alli will get his football lifeline at Everton

Alli, regardless of how the remaining years of his career pans out, will arguably go down as one of the biggest enigmas in English football.

The midfielder established himself as one of the brightest young talents in world football during his Spurs tenure and while he is a far cry from the player he once was, it would only take a fraction of his previously shown quality to make an impact for the Blues in the middle of the pitch.

Sean Dyche referenced Alli ahead of the new season and how a revival of his career could be on the cards at Goodison Park [Liverpool Echo]. It could be time for the boss to put his money where his mouth is and take some risks to help rectify their early season woes.

However, the 53-year-old appears stuck in his ways at Everton, sticking with the same crop of players despite the lack of fight and/or quality from the side, and the minutes afforded to the new signings thus far don’t make great reading for the out-of-contract midfielder.

The situation at the Blues at the moment, believe it or not, can hardly get much worse, and with John Textor’s acquisition of the club making progress [Alan Myers], there is light at the end of the tunnel, off the pitch at least.

Dyche needs to freshen up this depleted Everton side with the likelihood that further matches without victory will result in his departure from Goodison Park.
