Report: PL club now in talks with Spurs to renegotiate deal for midfielder

The Telegraph have revealed that Everton are currently in talks with Tottenham to renegotiate the £10m appearance clause for Dele Alli.

Dele has made 13 appearances for Everton since his switch to Goodison Park almost two years ago, with the deal thought to include a series of performance-related payments.

One of these is that the Toffees owe £10m to Spurs if the former England international makes 20 appearances for the club.

The former Tottenham man has been out with a muscle tear since the summer and Sean Dyche hinted back in September that Everton may re-enter talks with Tottenham over changing the structure of the deal (Liverpool Echo).

Everton have reached out to Spurs about Dele Alli

The Telegraph have now stated that while Dele is just ‘some way off’ returning to full fitness, he has made tentative steps in his recovery, with Dyche planning on reintegrating the 27-year-old into the squad.

Everton’s director of football, Kevin Thelwell, is said to have reached out to Tottenham in the hope of restructuring the deal.

The outlet explains that with the Merseyside club facing financial difficulties and potentially facing a points deduction if they are found to have breached FFP, the chances of Dele playing six more matches depend on how expensive his selection would prove to be.

One would hope that common sense will prevail and that Tottenham would relax the clause as the North London club should not hold back Dele’s career, especially given what he has been through.
