Report: Tottenham’s Dele Alli clause could impact Everton’s decision on his future

The Times have explained that a clause in Dele Alli’s contract might prevent the midfielder from getting any game time at Goodison Park next season.

Alli’s loan move to Besiktas did not go to plan as the midfielder ended up playing just 13 league games in Turkey during the 2022-23 campaign before suffering a season-ending injury in April. 

Dyche was only appointed Everton manager in January and has thus not had the chance to work with the former Tottenham man yet.

The Toffees boss revealed back in April that he had spoken with the 27-year-old about potentially returning to the fold at Everton.

Dyche said at the time (via Liverpool Echo): “I just got a sense that he wants to be back playing football and playing well.”

Seven games away from a Dele Alli pay day for Spurs

However, The Times have now explained that as part of the deal Everton agreed with Tottenham for Alli in the January of 2022, the Merseyside club would have to pay the North Londoners £10m if he makes 20 appearances.

So far, the former MK Dons has made 13 appearances for the Toffees, which means they would owe Spurs the aforementioned sum if he plays just seven more times for the club.

It is suggested that the Goodison Park hierarchy might look to initiate a mutual termination of Alli’s contract this summer.

There is no way that Everton would want to pay £10m for Dele, who has seemingly not shown much interest in getting his career back on track since making the move to the club.

It remains to be seen if any other Premier League club would be willing to take a gamble on the midfielder if Everton agree to terminate his contract this summer.
