Ginola urges Spurs outcast Dele Alli to grab PSG chance

Former PSG and Tottenham star David Ginola has urged Dele Alli to make the move to Paris today.

Alli is a loan target for PSG today.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Ginola urged the 24-year-old to take a chance and follow the likes of David Beckham in playing in France.

"When he came on in the second half [against United], you could see that he was very cautious about not losing the ball and not trying many special things like he is capable of doing on the football pitch," Ginola said.

"Doing that in Paris would be a new challenge for him. I don't see why not. We haven't had many English players playing for Paris Saint-Germain in the past so it would be interesting to see that."

Ginola also thinks Spurs' newfound attacking strength in depth means Alli needs to up his game if he wants to stay in the team, and does not appear convinced the player has the ability to do so.

He continued: "For Spurs with [Heung-min] Son, [Harry] Kane, [Gareth] Bale, Dele Alli – if he wants to play there with these three or four players – he needs to improve his game.

"He needs to be consistent. We have seen Son in the last couple of years, he has been tremendous – scoring goals, assisting goals."
