Tottenham's Alli not getting carried away after MK Dons award

Dele Alli says he will remain grounded and continue to work hard after clinching a major individual award with MK Dons.

The 19-year old playmaker, who will join Tottenham in the summer, took out the Football League Young Player of the Year award on Sunday night as reward for a stunning campaign with MK but he insists there is still plenty of hard work to be carried out.

"I'm not going to get too carried away," he said.

"I'm just going to keep working hard, keep my head down, be professional on and off the pitch and do as well as I can."

Alli signed with Spurs in January before being loaned back to Dons who sit third on the League One table, just a point behind Preston North End, who are currently in the automatic promotion spot along with champions Bristol City.
