Everton: Simon Jordan brutally slams Dele Alli’s agent live on talkSPORT today
Simon Jordan has slammed Dele Alli’s agent amid the struggles that the Everton midfielder is currently facing.
Talking with Jim White live on talkSPORT, Jordan was discussing the FIFA agents exam that took place at the ExCel London on Wednesday (19 April).
Alli’s friend and agent Harry Hickford was one of several agents to sit the test, which must be passed to keep them operating within the sport, according to the Daily Mail.
Noting the list of agents to have taken part in the exam, White said live on talkSPORT: “Matt Warner was there, he represents Eberechi Eze and Josh Dasilva, Joel Pannick was there, who represents Maya Yoshida, Harry Hickford, who apparently represents Dele Alli.”
At which point Jordan sarcastically interjected with: “Oh, he’s done a good job.”
Hope for Alli
Alli seemingly can’t make it out of any headlines involving Everton, and now his agent is even being dragged into the discussion.
Like the Everton midfielder, Hickford has not been having the best of times of late, with his client on a continuous downward spiral off and on the pitch.
If Alli continues on his current trajectory, his agent will be in desperate need of new clients, although they will be hard to come by given his dealings with the former Tottenham star.
There are now mixed feelings regarding the 27-year-old’s future, with some hoping he can come good once again and put the past behind them.
But others, who are perhaps in the majority, are confident that the midfielder will fail to recover from this disappointing spell.
Everton boss Sean Dyche has conversed with Alli since his return from Turkey, but nobody really knows which way his career will go at the end of the current campaign.
