Sean Dyche to make Dele Alli decision in summer, ‘Unlikely’ to have future at Everton
Sean Dyche is set to make a decision on Dele Alli’s future in the summer, with it now seeming “unlikely” that he has a future at Everton according to The Mirror.
Dele has been on loan at Turkish giants Besiktas this season but has fallen out of favour with management and was even accused of going AWOL earlier this week by manager Senol Gunes.
Besiktas have already made it clear they don’t want him beyond this season, and while his future on Merseyside looks bleak too it will be Dyche’s decision on what happens next with the 26-year-old.
“It now seems unlikely that he has a future either in Istanbul or at Everton,” they wrote (24 March).
“Toffees boss Sean Dyche is set to make a decision over his place at Goodison Park once he returns from Besiktas.”
Rightly so
Forget what we all think about Dele Alli for a moment, and this is definitely the right decision for all involved.
The transfer from Spurs to Goodison never worked out, with the ex-England international never scoring or assisting for the club and only starting one game during his time here.
But he started well at Besiktas with two goals in his first three games and until a change of management he was a regular in the side.
It’s unlikely that he’ll come back to Everton and turn his career around at this point, but it’s the right decision to allow Dyche to make the final decision because he may feel that he can get more out of him and he could be an asset to the side.
It will be hard to find a buyer as it is, so if there is a possibility of him being of use to the manager next season then we’d be stupid not to at least look at it during pre-season.
