This weekend, Dele Alli will be returning to Everton for a review of an injury he sustained while on loan at Besiktas. The 26-year-old joined the Turkish side on a season-long deal last summer, but has failed to reach his peak performance and has not played for Besiktas since February 26th. He has only scored two goals in 13 games this season. In January, Besiktas were looking into ways to end Alli’s loan deal at the club. The former England international only joined Everton from Tottenham in January 2022, and has been reportedly excluded from the Besiktas first team by manager Senol Gunes, who is displeased with Alli’s attitude. Gunes said in January: “Dele Alli has had a good career, but he doesn’t deserve to play at the moment.”
Alli will be evaluated by Everton’s medical staff, but it is unknown what the injury is or how long he will remain in the UK for. The former Spurs player has been capped 37 times by England and has had a successful career, but his current form has been below par. It remains to be seen if Alli will be able to return to his best form and if he will be able to stay with Everton or if he will be sent back to Besiktas.
