These are the three reasons Lionel Messi would want Tottenham’s crown jewel to join him

Alli

Potential

It’s one thing for a player to be tipped for big things, but there isn’t any point in the claims if it isn’t implemented. Dele Alli, on the other hand, has been a revelation since joining Spurs from League 1 side MK Dons back in 2015.

Many thought he’d be one for the future, but he had other ideas, as he now becomes very much one of the best Premier League players of the present. At the young age of 21-year-old, he’s only just begun his footballing career, but having reached the heights that he’s touched already, there is no denying that he has the potential to become one of the world’s greatest.

Having scored 31 goals in 80 games from a midfield position at the highest level, many strikers don’t even achieve this record, which is why the young man’s natural talent has attracted the best.

So for a Barcelona side, who have seen the departure of Neymar in recent times, it would be silly not to be attracted to the services of the English attacker, with them knowing he has the ability to down their bitter rivals Real Madrid.
