Dele Alli was "born to play for Tottenham" and is similar to club legend Glenn Hoddle, ex-Spurs midfielder Micky Hazard has told ESPN FC.

Alli, who has taken the Premier League by storm since joining from MK Dons, scored his seventh league goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-0 win at Norwich.

The 19-year-old struck after only two minutes in East Anglia and is being widely tipped for an England starting place at Euro 2016.

And Hazard, who played for Spurs between 1978 and 1985, believes Alli was made for the biggest stage.

"What I love about Dele Alli is his incredible confidence in his own ability," he said. "He's walked into Tottenham Hotspur -- a massive jump from where he was -- and it's like he was born to be there, born to do the things he does.

"He does things that make you think: 'Wow.' His goal at Palace was absolutely incredible. To even think of that was incredible, and to produce it was amazing."
