# Spurs ‘virtually certain’ top playmaker will play for club next season

**Still celebrating the dramatic comeback that kept their dwindling title hopes alive, the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the Transfer Tavern have found even more reason to celebrate.**

As if watching Mauricio Pochettino continue the most exciting period the club has seen in years wasn’t enough, recent reports from the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4388424/Tottenham-confident-Dele-Alli-stay-despite-d-interest.html) have gone down a storm in the bar.

They [claim](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4388424/Tottenham-confident-Dele-Alli-stay-despite-d-interest.html) the north London outfit are increasingly confident of keeping a hold of star man Dele Alli this summer, despite [reported](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4388424/Tottenham-confident-Dele-Alli-stay-despite-d-interest.html) interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are [said](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4388424/Tottenham-confident-Dele-Alli-stay-despite-d-interest.html) to be keen on the England international as he continues to impress in the Premier League, though Spurs are [thought](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4388424/Tottenham-confident-Dele-Alli-stay-despite-d-interest.html) to be ‘virtually certain’ of keeping him on Hotspur Way.

There is [thought](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4388424/Tottenham-confident-Dele-Alli-stay-despite-d-interest.html) to be concrete interest in the 20-year-old, though the fact *Los Blancos* are said to be lining up Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, while City are [believed](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4388424/Tottenham-confident-Dele-Alli-stay-despite-d-interest.html) to be aware their chances of buying from a rival of remote, seem to indicate he will stay.

As you can well imagine, the punters in the bar are delighted about this.
