Dele Alli: Former Tottenham Star Considering Shock Decision After Wasted Football Career

Dele Alli is reportedly considering retirement after being left out of Cesc Fabregas' plans at Serie A side Como.

The former Tottenham and England midfielder joined Como on an 18-month contract in January, hoping to reignite his career under the guidance of Fabregas.

However, his time in Italy has been fraught with challenges. Alli's debut against AC Milan in March ended prematurely after a red card just nine minutes into the match. Despite returning from injury, he didn't feature again last season.

Alli's situation has worsened after being omitted from Como's pre-season training camp in Marbella. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, he is training with other players not in Fabregas' plans and is contemplating retirement, despite having a year left on his contract.

Como has significantly bolstered its midfield this summer, with Fabregas investing heavily in players like Martin Baturina, Maximo Perrone, and Luca Mazzitelli. This increased competition likely contributed to Alli's exclusion.

Once a highly touted prospect, Alli's career trajectory has been significantly impacted by injuries and off-field issues.

He scored 67 goals in 269 appearances for Tottenham and earned 37 England caps, including an appearance at the 2018 World Cup.

Since leaving Tottenham, Alli has openly discussed his struggles with addiction, time in rehab, and a difficult childhood.

Spells at Everton and Besiktas (on loan) have failed to reignite his career and he contemplates retirement at 29, an age when most players are still in their prime, fans are left wondering what might have happened to one of England’s most bright football prospects.
