Dele Alli<\/strong> has signed a new six-year contract with Tottenham<\/strong><\/a>, keeping him at the club until 2022.<\/p>\n

Dele Alli signs new contract<\/h3>\n

The attacking midfielder broke onto the scene last season and went on to feature regularly in England’s Euro 2016<\/strong> campaign.<\/p>\n

Alli signed from MK Dons<\/strong> in 2015, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract. After becoming an instant hit at White Hart Lane<\/strong>, linking up well with Harry Kane<\/strong> in attack, he signed an improved deal in January. But Tottenham have felt it necessary to tie him down to yet another improved contract as he starts to find form after a relatively slow start to the season.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old scored ten goals last term and was voted PFA Young Player of the Year<\/strong>. Yesterday, in Tottenham’s 1-0 win over Sunderland<\/strong>, he was instrumental in many of Spurs’ attacking moves. He was also credited with the assist to Kane’s winner, nodding down a cross for the striker.<\/p>\n

Upon signing his new contract, Alli said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m happy to be at this Club and I can\u2019t thank the manager and all the staff enough for everything they\u2019ve done for me, and the fans, they\u2019ve been right behind me since I signed. Hopefully there are a lot of good times to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
