Dele Alli has officially signed with Italian club Como, securing a contract that will keep him at the Serie A side until June 2026, with an option to extend for an additional season. The announcement was confirmed by football journalist Fabrizio Romano, who shared the news on social media, and was also acknowledged by Alli himself.
Career Background
Dele Alli, a 28-year-old attacking midfielder, began his professional career at Milton Keynes Dons before making a high-profile move to Tottenham Hotspur in 2015. Known for his creative playmaking and goal-scoring ability, Alli quickly became a key figure at Spurs. However, his form fluctuated in recent years, leading to a loan spell at Everton before his latest move to Como.
Playing Style
Alli is recognised for his versatility on the pitch, capable of playing in various midfield roles. His strengths include his vision, technical skills, and ability to make late runs into the box, contributing both goals and assists. His style of play is expected to bring a dynamic edge to Como’s midfield as they compete in Serie A.
Recent Developments
Prior to the official signing, Alli had been training with Como since late December 2024, as reported by various sources. The club had been in the process of finalising deals for both Alli and Alex Valle, indicating a strategic move to bolster their squad for the ongoing season.
