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

Alli

Established & immediate effect

Lionel Messi has struggled to find a business partner in the attacking line at Barcelona this season. The creativity of Neymar has seemed to become a miss, as he often drops deep to create in a new type of role for the Argentinian.

Alli has taken up the role of creator and scorer at Spurs on his way to impressive stardom at such a young age. Having scored 7 goals and assisted 1 already a quarter of the way into the season, it looks as if he’s all set for yet another 20 goal feat.

Having dropped of the face of the earth in the Champions League in recent times and finding themselves constantly being pipped domestically by Madrid. Lionel Messi has realized this, as he seeks Alli’s current form good enough to be the successor of players like Neymar to drive his side forward.

So Spurs fans, thoughts?
