# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Dele Alli links

**Crystal Palace and Everton are both keen to sign Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli before tonight’s 11pm transfer deadline.**

That’s according to sources close to [talkSPORT](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1488120366300110851), and as to be expected, a number of Eagles fans were quick in flocking to the news on social media.

Patrick Vieira is [yet to add](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/crystal-palace/transfers/verein/873/plus/?saison_id=2021&pos=&detailpos=&w_s=w) to his first-team squad this month and is running out of time to do so. It looked as if Palace would land Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek on a [temporary deal](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12527165/donny-van-de-beek-crystal-palace-loan-move-could-reinvigorate-midfielder-after-difficult-man-utd-spell), but he now looks set to join [Everton](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1487766750057877505).

The Toffees and the Eagles now look set to do battle once again, with Everton keen on a permanent move for Alli, whereas Palace are eyeing a loan deal. The [37-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dele-alli/nationalmannschaft/spieler/207929/verein_id/3299) England international seems surplus to requirements under Antonio Conte in north London, featuring just [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dele-alli/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/207929/plus/0/saison/2021/verein/148/trainer_id/3517) times under the Italian in the Premier League.

### Palace fans react

Here is what these Palace fans had to say in reply, with many not keen to see the 25-year-old at Selhurst Park given the [rapid decline](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10306149/Tottenham-Spurs-prepare-cut-ties-did-wrong-Dele-Alli.html) in his fortunes on the other side of the capital.

**“Don’t want him at all but do Everton know how to highlight players themselves or just piggyback us every time”**
