Neil Warnock urges Dele Alli to leave Everton for Manchester City or Liverpool
Neil Warnock has urged Dele Alli to leave Everton to join Manchester City or Liverpool.
The former Tottenham Hotspur attacker moved to Goodison Park in January as he followed Frank Lampard through the door.
However, things have not worked out too well for him as he’s barely featured for the Toffees.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Warnock said, “When I look at Dele, I feel sorry for him.
“Everton aren’t good enough or strong enough to give him the ball in the right areas.
“You play him off Calvert-Lewin. Play him off the striker and give him the ball in them areas. But they don’t do that.
“They are under the cosh all the time. They pass it in silly areas and don’t play them balls into feet and get runners, which he is good at.
“I think if you put him into Liverpool or Man City’s team, then you would get a hell of a player out of him.”
Bizarre
Alli had been on the decline long before his move to Goodison Park.
In the early days of his Spurs career, he was achieving numbers similar to what Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard did when they were his age.
Everyone thought that he would be the next big thing, but that clearly did not happen.
While there are plenty of problems at Everton, it’s not their fault that Alli does not seem like a footballer anymore.
He appears to have lost the hunger to play at the highest level and it’s baffling why the Toffees even signed him.
If they have a chance of cashing in on him this summer, they most certainly will be doing that.
