Graeme Souness questions Tottenham star's focus after just 2 games in the Premier League this season

Daily Mail  

Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness believes Dele Alli has 'stagnated' as a footballer, with the Tottenham star's progress being halted by injuries and a loss of form in recent seasons. Dele Alli was a regular goal threat for Tottenham but his career has stagnated, says Souness And former Liverpool manager Souness admits he is baffled by Alli's poor performances on the pitch of late after tipping him as the Premier League successor to Frank Lampard. He has to look at himself first, in the mirror in the morning when he’s shaving, and ask: “Why have I not progressed?”' Graeme Souness feels Alli should look to Harry Kane as he bids to recapture his best form Souness pointed to the example of his team-mate Harry Kane, who has been consistent for Spurs despite a host of injury problems, and suggested that Alli may have lost his drive to succeed as a footballer. Alli famously scored against Crystal Palace after juggling the ball and flicking it over his head He added: 'That’s a sensible first step towards getting back to his best, to the player who scored 23 goals in 57 games for club and country in 2016-17, rather than the one who managed seven in 45 games last season.
