Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino: Dele Alli deserves improved salary and contract

The 19-year-old’s outstanding form has resulted in selection by England in November, just three months after making his debut in the top flight.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino believes Dele Alli fully deserves the new contract that will keep him at White Hart Lane until 2021.

Alli has been among Spurs’ best performers this season since completing a £5million move from MK Dons, and he is the Premier League’s leading scorer from midfield with five goals in 18 appearances.
