Alli was being chased by Tottenham and Liverpool and has revealed that manager Mauricio Pochettino was the main reason for him joining the club, and giving his performances this season and Alli has fully justified his decision to join the club. Alli had this to say:

I have always had confidence in my ability, I knew I’d get a chance coming here, that’s one of the main reasons why I signed for Tottenham, We’ve got a great manager who does work a lot with youngsters. You can see that this season. We’ve got great youngsters in the team and everyone is looking to fight for their place. It has been a crazy year and I never expected it to happen this quickly.
