Will do everything to make this year one of the best, asserts Dele Alli

Dele Alli has been self-critical of his diminishing performance at Spurs amidst limited game times and managerial changes. Taking responsibility for most of his shortcomings, Alli has refused to criticise Mourinho in a bid to improve his performance. Despite Tottenham falling well short of their Premier League goals, Dele spent much of the campaign on the outside looking in.

“I want to make this year one of the best I have had. A lot of people have said I need to find the form I was in a few years ago. For me, I don’t even want to get to that, I want to go past that and reach my full potential to be the best player I can be. It has been a tough few years but I have been working hard and analysing what I need to do to get better. I have been training a lot on most days of my holiday. I didn’t feel I needed much rest, so it is just training the whole way through. Everyone is looking for that extra few per cent, so you have to keep up. I am feeling good and the best I have felt in a long time.”
