Ex-Spurs boss Redknapp hoping Everton a success for Dele Alli

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is hoping Dele Alli can rediscover his best at Everton.

The midfielder moved from MK Dons to Tottenham, eventually going on to play and score for England at the 2018 World Cup, but his time in north London came to an underwhelming end as he completed a deadline day switch to Frank Lampard's Everton.

"I love Dele Alli, I think he's an amazing talent. The challenge if you are a manager is to go and get him playing again," explains Redknapp to the Mirror.

"Something's gone wrong somewhere, it's such a waste of a talent and you just hope he's not got his feet under the table.

"Because for me he could be back in the England team, that's where he belongs, but someone somewhere - him, as well - they've got to turn it round and get him playing."
