Former England and Tottenham Hotspur international Dele Alli has joined Como, a club in Italy’s Serie A, Azernews reports.
The 28-year-old English midfielder has signed a contract until the summer of 2026, with an option to extend it for an additional year.
Alli left Everton in the summer of 2024 and has been a free agent since. Throughout his career, he has also played for Milton Keynes Dons in England and Turkish side Beşiktaş. Between 2015 and 2022, Alli was a key player for Tottenham Hotspur, where he was once regarded as one of the brightest young talents in European football.
Alli made his senior England debut in 2015. Over the course of his international career, he earned 37 caps and scored three goals. Known for his dynamic play as an attacking midfielder, he was once tipped to become one of the stars of his generation. However, his form has fluctuated in recent years, with injuries and inconsistent performances at Everton affecting his playing time.
At 28, Alli remains a talented player with a lot to prove. His move to Como marks a new chapter in his career, where he will look to revive his form and reclaim the potential that once had him being compared to some of the best midfielders in the world.
Como, known for their ambition in Serie A, will provide a fresh challenge for Alli. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to the Italian style of football, which emphasizes tactical discipline and creativity in midfield. If he can regain his sharpness, his experience in the Premier League and at international level could prove valuable in helping Como to secure their place in Serie A.
Alli’s move also reflects a broader trend of Premier League players seeking new opportunities in less high-profile leagues, as they look to reignite their careers. For Dele Alli, this could be the moment he turns things around and finds his form once more.
