Dele Alli’s last appearance in an Everton shirt came in August 2022.
Dele Alli went on loan to Turkish Super Lig outfit Besiktas that season but his season was cut short after sustaining a hamstring injury which required surgery.
The 28-year-old has been working his way back ever since and he’s now technically a free agent after his contract at Everton expired in July.
However, Alli is continuing to train with Everton in the hope that he can earn a new contract – should he prove his fitness.
With that said, Alan Myers has now issued the latest update on his current situation.
