Former Tottenham Hotspur and England international Dele Alli is once again a free agent after terminating his contract with Serie A side Como after just nine months. The move marks another setback in the 29-year-old midfielder's career, which has seen a significant decline in recent years.
A Brief and Unsuccessful Stint in Italy
Alli's time with Como was short-lived and largely unsuccessful. He managed only one appearance for the club, coming on as a substitute against Milan. Unfortunately, his debut was marred by a red card just ten minutes later, following a challenge on Ruben Loftus-Cheek. This single appearance proved to be his only contribution to the team.
From Rising Star to Free Agent
Once considered one of England's brightest young talents during his time at Tottenham, Alli's career has taken a downward turn since. A move to Everton failed to reignite his form, and his subsequent stint with Como has also proven fruitless. Now, Alli faces the challenge of finding a new club to revive his fading career.
Sky Sport journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported the termination of Alli's contract, confirming that he is now available on a free transfer. The former MK Dons player will be hoping to find a team where he can rediscover his form and playing time.
What's Next for Dele Alli?
At 29, Alli still has time to turn his career around. However, he will need to find the right environment and opportunity to showcase his talent. It remains to be seen which club will take a chance on the former England international, but the coming months will be crucial in determining the next chapter of his career. The hope is that he can find a place to get back to playing consistent soccer.
