Spurs legend Hoddle raps Alli over Everton introduction: What are you wearing?!

Tottenham hero Glen Hoddle has rapped Dele Alli for the way he presented himself to Everton fans on Saturday.

Alli's deadline day move to Everton has been widely viewed as an opportunity for a fresh start.

After a difficult few years at Tottenham, he received a really warm welcome when he was introduced to the Everton faithful during their FA Cup clash against Brentford.

Alli walked onto the pitch at half time with with fellow new signing Donny van de Beek wearing an Everton scarf, a grey beanie, baggy blue jeans and a bomber jacket.

Hoddle, speaking on BT Sport, was not overly impressed by his choice of attire and said: “There's a route back for him if he gets his boots back on and gets his head down.

“I didn't like the way he walked out on the pitch with what he was wearing.

“I thought he'd just got dragged off the street, to be honest.

“If I'm an Everton fan, you're going to a new club. Put a tracksuit on at least or something.

“He's got to get his head together. It's not about Frank Lampard or Everton, he's got to get back on the horse he's good at, scoring goals from midfield."
