Redknapp: Spurs star Dele Alli now worth more than £50m!

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp claims that in the current transfer market, Tottenham Hotspur youngster Dele Alli is worth more than £50million.

The 20-year-old, who moved to Spurs in a £5m move from MK Dons last year, scored a brace for his side in the 4-1 win over Southampton on Wednesday night.

"He possesses everything to become one of the best midfielders in the world," Redknapp said on Sky.

"They paid £5m for him. He's now a £50m-plus player. He scores goals, he makes goals and he's got that devilment that all good midfielders possess.

"He's a sensational footballer - Tottenham are extremely lucky to have him. It's amazing to see how quickly he's become of the best players around. I think there's so much more to come from him, too."

"He's got a good footballing arrogance that I've only seen a few times in my life," the former Spurs star added.

"Steven Gerrard had it when he was 17 - he walked onto the pitch with the first team and you knew you were in the presence of greatness. It's the same with Alli. He's only 20 but he looks at all the other players and thinks 'I'm better than you'."
