According to reports, La Liga outfit Valencia are ‘interested in a loan move’ for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli.
It was revealed earlier this month that Spurs were ‘open’ to letting Alli leave on loan.
The Englishman has been a bit-part player for Tottenham this season as his form has declined over the past couple of seasons.
Six season-defining January loans by Premier League clubs
Alli is yet to play in the Premier League for Spurs this month. He was left out of the squad for their last game against Chelsea in the league on January 28.
David Ornstein of The Athletic is reporting that Valencia are ‘interested in a loan move’ for Alli.
He adds that there is ‘no guarantee a deal will be done’ but the Spanish club are at least in talks with Tottenham.
It is also stated that a ‘small number’ of Premier League clubs remain interested in the midfielder.
Speaking last week, Dimitar Berbatov suggested that Alli was waiting for a “big club” to come in for him:
“I’m not surprised to see Dele Alli linked with a move away from Tottenham, it’s been a downhill for him in recent seasons.
“It started with Jose Mourinho and now it’s continued with Antonio Conte. So there must be reasons if two of the best coaches in the world are not playing you.
“If he wants to be part of the national team then he needs to play. Sometimes it’s difficult to change the environment when you spend so many years in one club.
“But that is the risk you need to take sometimes and get out of your comfort zone and find some other places to go and show what you can do, otherwise you sit there and do nothing.
“I have seen that Brighton, Burnley, Everton and Newcastle have been linked with him. At 25, with all due respect, I’m not sure he’s going to join any of those clubs.
“I think he values himself highly based on what he has done with Spurs. I think he would like to go to a team that is challenging for trophies. He’s waiting for a big offer from a big club.”
