Roy Hodgson: Dele Alli can be new Robbo

England manager Roy Hodgson believes Dele Alli can become the new Bryan Robson and will give the Tottenham teenager another chance to shine when inexperienced England face world champions Germany.

The 19-year-old’s rapid rise shows no sign of slowing, having seamlessly transformed from League One prospect at MK Dons to Premier League star at White Hart Lane.

Alli’s displays are helping Tottenham push for a first league title since 1961 and have made him the bookmakers’ favourite to cap his maiden top-flight campaign with the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
