Dele Alli looking forward to working with former Chelsea manager at Everton

Everton on Monday finalised the permanent transfer of Tottenham star Dele Alli.

According to the report, Everton signed Alli from Tottenham on a two-and-a-half-year deal in a deal that is worth around £40m.

The report added that Everton new manager Frank Lampard made the signing of midfielder Alli a priority and believes he can rebuild a career that has stalled in recent years.

The 25-year-old, who has played 37 times for England, made six appearances under Spurs boss Antonio Conte after the Italian’s arrival in November.

The report via BBC Sports revealed that the first £10m of his transfer fee would be payable after 20 appearances.

“I’m delighted to have signed for Everton, a huge club with a great fanbase and history,” said Alli, who scored 67 goals in 269 games at Spurs.

“I’m eager to get started and can’t wait for my first game in an Everton shirt.

“I’m looking forward to helping the team and the opportunity to work with the new manager Frank Lampard.”

Alli is expected to make his debut for Everton when they go head to head against Newcastle in the Premier League on 8 February.
