Dele Alli won’t lose his head now he is a Tottenham player, says MK Dons boss Karl Robinson
London Evening Standard
Karl Robinson is not given to making extravagant claims about the many young players he has brought through but the MK Dons manager is convinced Dele Alli is very special.
Two weeks ago, Tottenham agreed to pay an initial £5million for one of the most highly rated talents outside of the Premier League, although the 18-year-old is remaining on loan at the League One club for the rest of the season.
“I’ve heard people say he could be a Steven Gerrard or Patrick Vieira,” says Robinson. “He’s six foot two, a natural eight and there’s something about him: tremendous athleticism, tenacity and drive. He does most things. He’s ready. He has 13 goals and five assists, above any 18-year-old this League has seen. He also dominates games at an international level for his own age.”[image error]
