Dele Alli: I'm happy joining massive club Tottenham

Former MK Dons midfielder Dele Alli is thrilled with his move to Tottenham.

Alli completed the transfer in the final minutes of the winter transfer window.

The young midfielder will now return to Milton Keynes on loan for the rest of the season.

"It's a massive club and I'm really happy to be here," he told the club's website. "I'm looking forward to meeting all the lads and getting to work with the manager. It's a dream come true.

"I like the way the manager has been working, developing the youth and bring a lot of young players in. I wanted to come to a club where the manager puts a lot of trust into young players.

"I'd love to play for Spurs and play at White Hart Lane. It won't be easy and I'll have fight for my place in the team but I'll work hard to do that."

Alli enjoyed his first look around the club's world-class training facility at Hotspur Way.

"I've never seen anything like it. I'm looking forward to making this my home."
