Everton and Tottenham Hotspur have begun talks about the future of Dele Alli and his contact at the Merseyside club. The player is currently at Everton after spending the 2022/23 season on loan at the Turkish side, Besiktas.

Reportedly, Everton didn’t pay an initial fee to Tottenham for the English player. Instead, they have clauses in the contract that could increase the total cost to £40 million. The first clause kicks in after 20 club appearances, requiring Everton to pay £10 million to Spurs. However, the player has only made 13 appearances for Everton so far, spending time in Turkey and dealing with injuries.

Dele Alli could also see his minutes at the club hampered by Everton’s current financial state. The club might not want to give the player more minutes as that could eventually result in Everton spending more and more money. Everton manager, Sean Dyche, gave a small update on the ongoing situation stating:

 Kev [Thelwell] has had a couple of phone calls, just lightly in the background, [asking Tottenham], 'Look where do you see it?

He further explained that at the moment, no changes have been made concerning Dele Alli. He mentioned:

I must make it clear he is on the grass but still a long way from being fit, he is not training with us he is with the sports science staff.

Sean Dyche further explained that the player is not fully match-fit and has not been training with the first team.

Everton could face 12-point deduction

Things are not looking good for the club Liverpool after headlines were made about the club possibly being penalized up to 12 points under recommendations made by the Premier League. A 12-point deduction, at the moment, would put them down to -2 points and dead last in the league.

This is due to the club breaching the financial regulations of the Premier League in which they recorded financial losses of £ 371.8 million over a three-year period, which is well over the permitted amount of £ 105 million set out by the Premier League. Since then the league has made a statement on the subject which read: 

The proceedings before the commission will, in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82, be confidential and heard in private.

Possible sanctions include fines, transfer embargo, and several other punishments. Already in a tough spot in the league, if found guilty Everton could be saying ‘goodbye’ to the Premier League and will be their first relegation since 1950-51.
