UEFA Champions League
In Como 1907, a team led by Cesc Fàbregas, has surprised the transfer market by finalizing the addition of Dele Alli. The English midfielder, born in 1996, arrives at the Italian club after a training period with the team since late December. According to Fabrizio Romano, both parties have closed a contract that will bind him to Como until June 2026, with the option to extend it for another year. The official signing is scheduled for this Sunday, January 19th.
Golden Opportunity for Dele Alli
Dele Alli seeks in Italy a new chance to revitalize his career after several seasons marked by injuries and low performance. The footballer, who reached stardom at Tottenham, accumulated 67 goals and 57 assists in 269 matches during his time with the Spurs, but he couldn't maintain his level at Everton, where his trajectory was interrupted by physical problems and a brief loan spell at Besiktas.
