Playing Career


Club(s):
Played youth football with Milton Keynes Dons FC from the age of eleven, making his first team debut as a sixteen year old in A FA Cup first round match in November 2012. Alli settled into the first team, making the central midfield position his own. On 2 February 2015, transfer deadline day, Tottenham Hotspur FC spent £5 million on Alli, loaning him back to MK Dons for the remainder of the season. At Spurs, he ended the 2015-16 season suspended after he punched another player. Alli fell out of favour with the manager's that followed and was eventually allowed to leave. He did so, on 31 January 2022, to Frank Lampard's Everton FC. Initially on a free transfer. On 16 August, Alli was subject to a bid from Turkish side, Beşiktaş JK, whom he joined on a season-long loan on 25 August. He made his debut on 29 August and made ten+three Turkish Super Lig appearances, scoring twice, up until 26 February 2023. He returned to Goodison after his loan contract was cancelled. Following injury and mental health issues, Alli left Everton FC at the end of his contract, but continued to rehabilitate with them, as he did with Italian side, newly-promoted Como 1907, at the invitation of Cesc Fàbregas. He signed an eighteen-month contract for them on 19 January 2025.
