A club's courtship has emerged against Dele Alli, who has already begun training to prepare for the next season with a new mindset.

Global sports media The Athletic reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Everton's agreement with Tottenham on the payment structure of Dele Alli has come close'

The Athletic said 'Ali became a free agent after his contract with Everton expired at the end of last month. Tottenham and Everton are in talks about revising the payment structure that will allow Everton to re-sign Ali if they want to. Tottenham will receive a certain fee for Ali and will likely maintain the Selon clause upon Ali's transfer.

Ali, who was once a talent representing England and Tottenham, has been active as a main player since his transfer to Tottenham, and was called the 'DESK'line along with Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. Four players have led Tottenham's heyday and Ali's potential has been hugely appreciated. In the 2016-2017 season, he played an active role in 37 league games with 18 goals and 9 assists, and was even expected to become the next Tottenham ace and England national team ace. He also received great attention from fans for his best friend chemistry with Son Heung-min.

Ali began to suffer from the 2019-2020 season. In the 2020-2021 season, he was completely pushed out of the team plan and became a different player. In the 2021-2022 season, he headed to Everton through the winter transfer window, but failed to rebound. Even after the transfer, fans criticized him for enjoying alcohol and cigarettes.

Since then, Ali has predicted a rebound. Confessing his wounds through an interview, he promised a new life. In an interview with Gary Neville, he opened up about difficult times in the past, such as family feuds, drugs, and sexual harassment, which he had experienced as a child, and vowed to change.

However, his return could not be seen in the 2023-2024 season. Ali, who has left the ground again with a groin injury, has been sidelined all season and his contract with Everton has expired. In the end, Ali is preparing to save a new team through personal training.

Ali, who is newly training, has completely changed this summer. He seemed to participate in training such as sprinting, ball control, and agility along with his short cut hair, and he performed the training perfectly with sharp movements.

His previous team Everton, which reached out after seeing the changed Ali, are already reportedly training with Ali in the team. England's clutch point could also have another chance to prove himself at Everton. He explained that he is currently training with Everton.

Ali, who disappointed fans with his downfall, is preparing to burst his talent once again with training scenes and efforts that make him look forward to the days of 'DESK'. Many fans are expected to see if his return will really lead to a rebound.
