Keane: Dele Alli has lost eye of the tiger at Tottenham

Manchester United great Roy Keane believes Dele Alli has lost his motivation with Tottenham.

Alli was left out of Antonio Conte's squad for the 2-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The 25-year-old, who has featured just 10 times for Spurs in the Premier League this season, does not seem to be part of Conte's plans going forward - despite being in contract until 2024.

After the defeat, Keane stated that Alli has lost his hunger at Tottenham.

He said: "The kid's lost that eye of the tiger and sometimes you've got to let the kid go - that's the nature of football.

"You've done your time there, you've lost your way, be good to the kid - let the kid go."
