‘He’d be a great asset’ – Dele Alli backed to make Premier League return despite horror spell in Turkey with Besiktas
DELE ALLI has been backed to return to the Premier League one day.
The Tottenham cult hero joined Besiktas from Everton last summer after a brief stint with the Merseyside club.
He was frozen out by the Turkish side following Senol Gunes’ arrival as manager, but recently produced a goal-scoring, man of the match display against Alanyaspor.
Alli, 26, had Besiktas fans raving about his performance.
And fellow former Tottenham star David Bentley thinks that the 37-cap England international could still make an impact back on home soil.
Chatting to Bitcoin Casinos, the 38-year-old said: “I’ve got a slight connection with Dele as he was with my agency.
“He left and I think his brother took over the day-to-day runnings and maybe his personal life hasn’t been managed correctly – but it’s such a shame as he’s such a talent.
“But I think he had a good game the other day for Besiktas – I think he scored and put in a man of the match performance, but for a talented player and the age he is it’s a shame it’s just not working out for him.
“If someone can get him right again, he’d be a great asset to any PL club.”
Dele has made 14 appearances in total for Besiktas, scoring three times.

After leaving Tottenham for Everton in January 2022, Alli started just ONE game under Frank Lampard.
He appeared from the bench in the Toffees’ opening two games of this season before being shipped off to Besiktas.
Alli plays alongside fellow Englishman Nathan Redmond in Turkey, as well as ex-Prem stars Arthur Masuaku, Cenk Tosun, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, Romain Saiss, Gedson Fernandes and Rachid Ghezzal.
