"Let's not discuss Dele Alli as a player, but he is below expectations in terms of efficiency." Gunes also lashed out at Alli back in January by claiming that he 'does not deserve to play'. There had been a few signs of life at Besiktas, with two goals in 13 matches this term, but his relationship with the club has recently deteriorated. Still technically contracted to the Toffees, manager Sean Dyche will surely not have much appetite to welcome the 26-year-old back after a series of mishaps while on loan at Besiktas. We’re trying to find out where he is." He eventually left Tottenham for Everton in January last year, but his stint at Goodison Park did not work out either.

After reports emerged that Dele Alli is no longer part of the plan at Besiktas, the manager has revealed they don't know where the 26-year-old is.

There is no obligation to buy included in Besiktas’ agreement with Everton. According to The Athletic, Besiktas are not interested in taking up the option to sign Dele on a permanent basis. Dele joined Everton from Tottenham – for whom he emerged as one of the most coveted young players in world football – in January 2022, but was sent out on loan to Besiktas after 13 appearances and no goals for the Toffees.

Dele still has one year remaining on his current Everton deal and it remains to be seen how Toffees boss Sean Dyche will approach his situation in the summer. “We’ll have to wait and see and judge things in the summer now, when we all get back together. Mourinho struggled to get the best out of him and infamously told him to up his standards, warning him that “time flies.” But Lampard, like Mourinho before him, failed to spark his best form and after half-a-season, they sanctioned the move to Besiktas. But he has managed just two goals in 13 appearances and has been out of favour since the appointment of Gunes in October. At that point, he was also a regular on the international stage and played a key role as England reached the World Cup semi final in 2018.

Besiktas manager Senol Gunes claimed he had been struggling to reach Dele Alli for Wednesday's training session, but there is a logical explanation.

Whether Sean Dyche can get a tune out of Dele when he returns to Merseyside in the summer looks doubtful, although his recent performances might reduce his exit options.

Dele Alli has not gone AWOL from Besiktas (Telegraph.co.uk)

Alli is in London for a doctor's appointment on an agreed period of leave despite claims to the contrary by coach Senol Gunes.

He has made just a handful of appearances under Gunes and not featured at all in the last three league games. He failed to score a goal or provide an assist in 13 appearances under now former coach Frank Lampard and moved to Turkey in another attempt to revive his career. There is shock at Gunes’ alarmist words not least because Alli returned to England with Besiktas’s blessing after being excluded from the squad that played Istanbulspor, their last game. There is shock that Gunes has therefore now publicly claimed Alli is not answering phone calls and Besiktas cannot get hold of him. "The club gave me permission to attend a doctor's appointment today. Alli has email confirmation from the club giving him permission after they were informed earlier this week.
