DONE DEAL: Dele Alli leaves Tottenham for Everton; excited to work with Lampard

Everton have secured the signing of Dele Alli from Tottenham in a deal reportedly worth £40m.

The 25-year-old midfielder has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract until the end of June 2024.

Alli will be hoping to resurrect his career after falling dramatically over the past two seasons at Spurs.

On joining the Toffees, Alli spoke of his excitement about linking up with manager Frank Lampard.

He said: "I'm delighted to have signed for Everton, a huge club with a great fanbase and history. I'm eager to get started and can't wait for my first game in an Everton shirt.

"I'm looking forward to helping the team and the opportunity to work with the new manager Frank Lampard."
