PSG are interested in Tottenham’s Dele Alli.
The 24-year old appears to be out of favour under Jose Mourinho. He was hooked after just 45 minutes in their opening game of the season against Everton, and was left out of the squad altogether that travelled to Bulgaria for their Europa League tie with Lokomotiv Plovdiv, and then Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday.
Spurs have said they can expect the England player to stay and fight for his place at the club, but Mourinho has previously said that the North London side have too many players, and those numbers have been further swelled by the weekend arrivals from Real Madrid of Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilón.
Mourinho was non-committal when asked if he wanted to keep Alli after the victory at St. Mary’s, insisting instead that he wants “a balanced squad”.
Alli has a fortnight to sort out his future or risk three months on the bench before the transfer window reopens in January.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
