Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has revealed that even though Tottenham have agreed to forgo a bonus if Dele signs a new contract with Everton, the North London club could still receive a payment in the future if the midfielder fulfils certain objectives at Goodison Park.
What is happening with Dele Alli?
Dele is currently out of contract and it was explained by The Liverpool Echo reporter Joe Thomas last week on the The Royal Blue Mersey YouTube channel that Everton would owe compensation to Tottenham if the player signs a new deal.
The journalist revealed that the clause was the reason why the Toffees were hesitating to offer the former Spurs man a contract.
However, The Daily Mail revealed on Saturday that following talks between the two clubs, the London club surrendered the previously agreed bonus for Dele, thus meaning that Everton are free to tie the player down to a new deal without needing to make any payment to Tottenham.
Spurs could receive a fee for Dele Alli
Gold has now explained that while Spurs may not receive any money now, they would be owed compensation in the future if Dele meets certain criteria, as per the new agreement between the two clubs.
The journalist also asserted that the Lilywhites have a sell-on clause for the 28-year-old, who is expected to be given a chance to impress by Sean Dyche during pre-season.
It remains to be seen whether he can break into Everton’s plans for the upcoming campaign.
Spurs Web Opinion
This sort of agreement makes sense for Spurs and for Dele as it allows the player to sign a new deal and get on with his career at Everton, while also ensuring that Tottenham can benefit financially if he rediscovers some of his old mojo.
I think every single Spurs fan just wants to see Dele back at his best and smiling.
