# Wonderful news for Tottenham fans following another frustrating weekend

**The Tottenham Hotspur fans in the Transfer Tavern are still wholly frustrated about life at Wembley.**

For our local Lillywhites, many of them are starting to think the wonderful Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday is a false dawn. Their Wembley woe continued against Swansea City over the course of the weekend, failing to score in a bore draw.

So, reports from [the Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/4482157/dele-alli-opens-talks-new-tottenham-deal-100000-a-week/) have at least cheered them up somewhat.

According to their [report](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/4482157/dele-alli-opens-talks-new-tottenham-deal-100000-a-week/), Tottenham have opened talks with star man Dele Alli over a new deal in north London. One of the most exciting youngsters in world football, the 21-year-old England international has previously been [linked](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/804691/Real-Madrid-transfer-news-Dele-Alli-Tottenham) with a move to Real Madrid.

While he has five years left on his current contract, the former MK Dons midfielder is [understood](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/4482157/dele-alli-opens-talks-new-tottenham-deal-100000-a-week/) to have begun talks over a new deal that would [reportedly](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/4482157/dele-alli-opens-talks-new-tottenham-deal-100000-a-week/) see him break the £100k-p/w barrier on Hotspur Way.

Europe’s elite clubs are [said](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/4482157/dele-alli-opens-talks-new-tottenham-deal-100000-a-week/) to have run the rule over him, [apparently](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/4482157/dele-alli-opens-talks-new-tottenham-deal-100000-a-week/) prompting the club into opening discussions over a new contract.

**Landlord’s Verdict:**

A massive contract for Alli could see him kept with the club a lot longer as well as sold for a much higher figure.

While being able to ward off big interest forever may be a somewhat unrealistic notion, another deal certainly couldn’t hurt their chances.
