Dele Alli has been offered the chance to train with Cesc Fabregas’ Como in a bid to revive his career.
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder who has 37 England caps reached the end of his contract at Everton in the summer. Dele was last seen in competitive action for Turkish side Besiktas and has not featured professionally since February 2023.
A prodigious talent for club and country, Dele has spoken openly about the various traumas he has suffered throughout his life. Ongoing injuries have contributed to what the midfielder has described as “a bad cycle”, but at just 28, Dele has plenty of time to return to a professional environment.
Counter intuitively, an arsenal the legend may offer the former Spurs star a route back to the top.
Dele was in attendance for Como’s 2-0 win at home to Roma on Sunday and Fabregas revealed he would be welcome at the club’s training ground. “He could train with us after Christmas to find his form,” said the former Arsenal and Chelsea the midfielder told reporters on Monday.
Fabregas had returned to his boyhood club Barcelona when Dele broke into Tottenham’s first team, but the pair clashed after the Spain international joined Chelsea in 2014. In four head-to-head meetings , Dele managed to accumulate. five goals against teams including Fabregas.
Como could do with a little more power and they are already home to several seasoned professionals. The former Liverpool duo of Pepe Reina (42) and Alberto Moreno (32) operate at the foot of the Alps, while the former AC Milan and Wolves misfit Patrick Cutrone is the only member of the squad with more than two goals in La Liga this season.
