Dele Alli has expressed appreciation to current Totteham manager Nuno Espirito Santo for using him in his preferred position thereby aiming a dig at former Spurs' gaffer Jose Mourinho.

Last season at Tottenham under Jose Mourinho, Dele Alli fell out of favour as the Englishman was only able to get seven Premier League games.

And even before the departure of Jose Mourinho, there were reports that Dele Alli could leave the Premier League side for another club.

The 25-year-old now appears to be rejuvenated under Nuno, establishing himself as a key member of Tottenham's starting line-up once again.

According to the report on Express UK, Dele Alli explained that his brilliant form so far this term is as a result of Nuno trusting him.

Dele Alli's reaction

"We have to put in a solid performance away from home and hit them on the counter. We knew they'd have chances, it's how you deal with that.

"My game has been a little deeper this season, allows me to get in the box later which is what I like to do. I'm happy to get the goal and help the team.''

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Jose Mourinho may be forced to work with fringe players as Roma are planning to offload 23 of their players this summer.

The Stadio Olimpico outfit is currently going through a terrible financial situation owing to the impact of the deadly coronavirus.

Sources claim nine of the number are considered part of the first-team squad but it could have a way of affecting the plans of the Portuguese-born tactician.

Former Tottenham defender Federico Fazio, as well as ex-Newcastle full-back Davide Santon top the list of the affected players.
