Former Tottenham Hotspur and England midfielder Dele Alli has signed a deal with Italian side Como. The confirmation came directly from the club’s official website, signaling a notable addition to Como’s midfield as they pursue ambitious aims in Italian football.
The contract runs through the summer of 2026, with an option to extend for an additional season. This extended term reflects Como’s plan to secure experienced leadership in the middle of the park while they push for improved results and consistency in their league campaign.
The player parted ways with Everton in the summer of 2024 and had been without a club until this move. Earlier chapters in his career included a spell with MK Dons in England and a stint with Beşiktaş in Turkey, before a significant stint at Tottenham Hotspur from 2015 to 2022. Alli’s return to professional football with Como marks a new chapter after a period away from the top tier of English football.
Alli debuted for England in 2015 and went on to earn 37 caps, scoring three goals for the national team. The England international is known for his midfield instincts, combining creativity, pace, and the ability to influence games through intelligent movement and ball progression.
In spring 2022, FIFA and UEFA, following guidance from the IOC, decided to suspend the Russian national team as well as all Russian clubs from participation in events controlled by these organizations. This decision was part of a broader set of sanctions affecting international competition and eligibility during a turbulent period in global football.
Earlier reports indicated that Matvey Safonov’s club was looking to add another top-flight signing in the same window, underscoring the ongoing activity and strategic planning happening across European football as clubs seek to strengthen squads for upcoming challenges.
