<p>Dele’s journey at <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/dele-alli-usmnt-mauricio-pochettino-didnt-give-advice-tottenham-empowered-be-myself/bltc17d7d0211138adb#cs3a243c5e4cf09b14" target="_blank">Tottenham began with immense promise, </a>having joined the North London side for £5 million from MK Dons. During his early years, he played a pivotal role in Spurs' push for the title and Champions League campaigns, dazzling fans with his goals and flair.</p><p>However, injuries, dips in form, and struggles off the pitch eventually disrupted his trajectory. After falling out of favour, he made a move to Everton, hoping to reignite his career. Unfortunately, regular minutes proved hard to come by at Goodison Park, and his career continued to stall.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Despite no longer playing for the North London outfit, the 29-year-old was serenaded by chants of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/tottenham-chants-lyrics-videos-to-the-most-popular-spurs-songs/1ah8hkjbh863a1rgwbdmz6fug7" target="_blank">“We've wegot Dele Alli,” </a>reminding everyone of the deep connection he still shares with the Spurs faithful. Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), he responded to the tribute by quoting a fan’s video of the chants, adding heart and tears in eyes emojis — a sign of his appreciation and emotional connection with the supporters.</p>

The team currently sits mid-table in the Italian top division, occupying 11th place as the season nears its conclusion.</p><p>Meanwhile, back in North London, Tottenham’s current crop of players are chasing European silverware. Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-player-ratings-vs-bodo-glimt-james-maddison-europa-league/blt9febc56e2d387ec2" target="_blank">team earned a strong 3-1 win in the first leg of their semi-final against Bodo/Glimt</a>. The performance was one of the few bright spots in what has otherwise been an inconsistent and disappointing domestic campaign. Securing a place in the Europa League final would offer a welcome silver lining for Spurs supporters, who are eager to see their club reclaim a prominent place among Europe’s elite.</p>
