Jose Mourinho's pep talk to Dele Alli during their time at Tottenham has gone viral after the English midfielder was linked with a move to Besiktas.

Meanwhile, Alli's failure to match the high expectations once placed on him has also been picked up by social media critics, with one saying 'he’s nothing but a woulda shoulda coulda.

Spells with Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers in the top flight followed but Bridges soon dropped back into the Football League. Bentley also had similar prowess from free-kicks and had starred for Blackburn Rovers when he made his England debut in 2007. Describing Morrison in his 2015 autobiography, Sir Alex Ferguson said: "He possessed as much natural talent as any youngster we ever signed, but kept getting into trouble. However, his output soon began to decline and he fell out of favour with both Spurs and England. he could have been a fantastic player. However, less than a year later he was sold to West Hamm where he would show flashes of his enormous talent, before embarking on a nomadic career which has included stints in Italy, Mexico, Sweden, the Netherlands and the USA. Unable to bounce back after the injury lay-off and after falling out of love with the game, Bentley ultimately retired in 2013 at the age of 28. A move to Everton in January has failed to re-ignite his career and he is now set to head to Turkey after starting just one match for the Toffees. He struggled to maintain the consistency he had shown in the second tier, though, scoring just seven goals and adding 10 assists for a struggling QPR across two stints in the top flight. After his initial loan was made permanent in the summer of 2010, Taarabt's flair and creativity helped fire QPR to promotion to the Premier League. His time at Chelsea would then come to an infamous end after he tested positive for cocaine in September 2004 and had his contract ripped up by the club. He was named PFA Young Player of the Year in both of his first two years at Spurs and was part of England's squad for back-to-back major tournaments.

Manager Frank Lampard is understood to be a big admirer of the 21-year-old and does not want to part with him even though the Stamford Bridge club are expected to return with an improved offer. Dele Alli’s frustrating short spell at Everton looks to be coming to an end after the club agreed a deal to loan him to Besiktas with a view to a permanent move. The 26-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year contract on deadline day but has failed to reignite his career at Goodison Park in a struggling side which only just avoided relegation in their penultimate match of last season.

Frank Lampard is prepared to sell the 26-year-old midfielder who could move to Turkey for between £6.75m and £8m.

The next move is a big decision for Dele who faded so rapidly at Tottenham Hotspur and then Everton and there is an eagerness on the part of the player to go somewhere that he will play regularly. Dele, 26, is open to the change and it remains now for the two clubs and the player to agree the best way forward. This season they have Arthur Masuaku on loan from West Ham and Wout Weghorst from Burnley.

Everton are close to finding a new home for Dele Alli in what is being described as the 'transfer of the year' in Turkish football.

Another Turkish outlet, Sabah, are clearly high on the idea of Alli gracing their league. Tottenham did not receive a fee at the time, though are in line to collect a series of instalments if Alli hits certain appearance targets. Besiktas are deemed in the ‘final stage’ of wrapping up the move and a ‘handshake’ agreement will reportedly result in Alli netting a annual salary of €2.25m.

Dele Allis frustrating short spell at Everton looks to be coming to an end after the club agreed a deal to loan him to Besiktas with a view to a permanent ...

The Senegal international, who turns 33 next month, is surplus to requirements at Paris Saint-Germain but negotiations to bring him back to Goodison Park after his departure in 2019 have dragged on for some time. The 26-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year contract on deadline day but has failed to reignite his career at Goodison Park in a struggling side which only just avoided relegation in their penultimate match of last season. Lampard is closing in on his fifth summer signing with the return of midfielder Idrissa Gueye almost complete.

Dele Alli has emerged as a top target for Besiktas, with the Turkish club reportedly on the verge of signing the 25-year-old this month, initially on loan.

That 25% cut to Spurs will be an Administration Fee that I would be more than happy to pay, if that means we can re-invest Dele's 6 Digits Salary on someone else. Many aren't that passionate about it, just doing what they're good at to get paid. Lampard is willing to be a big brother with his arms on your shoulders, but only if you show him that you are willing to go through the walls for him and the team (see Messrs. Given his talent and how crap our squad is/was, probably isn't difficult to put two and two together. It's not a case of him not being given a run in the team. Mourinho told the world 2 years ago that he doesn't apply himself in training and that that mirrors itself in games. I really can't see us being able to turn a profit on the player and end up paying nothing to Spurs. If we loan him with an obligation to buy, our only outlay will have been his wages to date and we will have presumably receive a fee from Besiktas at the end of his loan. If he heads off to Turkey, it would suggest that he sees his career only going one way and he'll spend a few years chasing the money and then retire. Note: the following content is not moderated or vetted by the site owners at the time of submission. Waste of a promising career for reasons unknown, but I'd wish him well just on the basis of his Palace cameo. However, after Sam Wallace of The Telegraph reported that Besiktas would be prepared to pay €8m for Dele in a permanent deal now, it appears as though a compromise of a season-long loan with an option to buy for €7m has been reached.

Dele Alli seems likely to leave Everton for Besiktas at the end of an experiment that didn't work with a player who remains stuck in a rut.

It may be that the Dele who lit up the Spurs and England teams not so long ago has gone forever. But for all the likely talk of the Super Lig being a ‘farmer’s league’, it is highly competitive, as the recent travails of the ‘Big Three’ have demonstrated. Dele needs to find himself a place out of the critical English spotlight and rediscover the mojo that made him such an enticing prospect just four or five years ago. Of course, the question he now faces is that of whether moving to Turkey will revive his career or if it will end up looking like just another marker of his decline. Those days appear to now be very firmly in the past and it is telling that Everton seem happy enough with him leaving. His goal for Spurs at Wolves a year ago was his first since before the pandemic lockdowns started, and his decline as a player has been nothing if not comprehensively documented.

According to stats from Transfermarkt, he scored 18 goals and provided 9 assists in 37 Premier League appearances for Tottenham Hotspur in the 2016/17 season.

Bringing him in would be a big risk for either Celtic or the Rangers, considering how he has done nothing of note over the past several years. In recent years, Alli has completely lost his way and seems to be on the fringes of an Everton team, that are relegation contenders. And at 26 years of age, there is still time to turn his career around. He had taken the top flight by storm as a teenager, and had a few extraordinary seasons when on top of his game. There have been a lot of conflicting reports in the media, with some rumours even claiming that the Hoops have already submitted an offer to bring him in on loan. There is very little doubt about the kind of talent that Alli is.

The Portuguese boss continued as he added: "Why you have in your career these little ups and downs, I don’t know if it had to do with your lifestyle. "It’s something that you don’t have to share with me, something that you just have to analyse yourself to realise why my career is being… "I saw you do incredible matches and incredible things, but I always felt that you had ups and downs. Everton are yet to pay a penny to Tottenham, and Frank Lampard has only given the midfielder one Premier League start as Alli's career in England looks to be all but over. But Alli's form began to dip shortly after Pochettino left the club, and despite a slight resurgence under Mourinho, he struggled to reach the high standards that had been set by the youngster. Alli was once the golden boy in the Premier League, arriving for a bargain £5million from MK Dons, and the midfielder could do no wrong during his first three seasons under Mauricio Pochettino.

Dele Alli looks set to join Besiktas - but he could have joined Liverpool if Steven Gerrard hadn't been asleep.

He won the PFA Young Player of the Year in those two seasons – and was named in the PFA Team of Year on both occasions. “I spent a couple of hours in a hotel room with him and he wanted to come to Liverpool. “The manager of MK Dons actually drove him down to us. It’s a question we’ll never have an answer for. “At the time when I was at MK there was contact with Liverpool before I signed for Tottenham, but that was before we’d even spoke to Tottenham,” However, he was unable to meet his idol as he was sleeping at the time.

Alan Brazil has blasted midfielder Dele Alli again for turning up at Everton in a Rolls Royce back in the winter when he signed from Tottenham.

Based on the fact that Alli has failed to break into Frank Lampard’s starting line-up suggests that he hasn’t been doing the work he should have been doing at the training ground. Alli hasn’t done it for Everton and he hadn’t done it for Spurs for a few seasons. “You want to get off to a good start and that was not a good start.” Since joining the Blues in January, Alli has played just 13 times in all competitions but he didn’t get off to a good start on Merseyside when he first arrived at Finch Farm in a “Where I had the hump was A, he was stupid turning up in a Rolls Royce but B, his advisors, whether it’s his brother or whether it be an agent, someone had to pull him aside and say, ‘you can’t do that, no, no, no, get a cab in’.” Alan Brazil has blasted midfielder Dele Alli again for turning up at Everton in a Rolls Royce back in the winter when he signed from Tottenham.

The former Tottenham and England midfielder started just once under Frank Lampard and is now set for a potential move to Turkey.

But I don’t feel sorry for him if he doesn’t look at himself in the mirror. Jose starts to leave him out, the next manager (Nuno Espirito Santo) comes in and he doesn’t really fancy him, (Antonio) Conte decides to let him go. He’s made 13 appearances, one start for Frank, and he’s already allowing him to move on. And fellow ex-Spurs man Bent has told Alli to ‘look in the mirror’, adding that the midfielder ‘caused’ his own downfall. He had a real impact when Jose first came in (to Tottenham), but then after that there’s not much more productivity. Alli signed a two-and-a-half year contract at Goodison Park on deadline day in January, but has made just 13 appearances and one start for Frank Lampard’s side since.

Dele Alli's career stalled at Tottenham after starring in the first portion of his time in north London, with a move to Everton in January failing to refind ...

The move for Alli was no risk for the Toffees. In the aftermath, it felt that with a good pre-season behind him and Everton boss Lampard being allowed to loosen the reins on his relegation battlers, this could be the season Alli reignites his career. But negotiating that they would pay nothing for Alli until he played 20 games for the club now seems like a masterstroke. Now it seems he will have to do it in Turkey. But on the pitch, the Toffees didn’t have room for a luxury product. The training ground was the place Alli could impress, but it appears that chances weren’t taken. He will leave without a single goal involvement if he does book a trip to Turkey in the coming days. Outside the club, there was dismay by the fact he arrived to training at Everton in a Rolls Royce. Those inside the club didn’t really expect him to arrive in a Ford Fiesta. If Alli is offloaded to Besiktas, then it will be met with nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders from the Toffees support. There had been a desire for him to do well when he was signed on February 1. Alli had been close to signing for [Liverpool](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) in 2016.

A video dedicated to Dele Alli's career has re-emerged following the news he's set to join leave the Premier League and join Turkish side Besiktas.

He lost his place in the England side at this point too. Dele didn't manage to impress Mourinho, or successors Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte. [is considering a move to the Turkish Super Lig](https://www.sportbible.com/football/dele-alli-everton-transfer-latest-20220816). The latter decided it was time for Dele to move on in January and it was Everton who snapped him up on an initial free transfer. At this point Dele had established himself at international level and was a key player in the Three Lions' run to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals. He scored 23 goals in his debut campaign, earned a call-up to the England national team and was named PFA Young Player of the Year.
