​Tottenham Hotspur and England midfielder Dele Alli has been selected to become an ambassador for ​Rays of Sunshine, a heartwarming charity that grants wishes to seriously ill children.





The 20-year-old was keen to become part of the Rays of Sunshine charity after hearing about the good work that they have done, including granting over 5,500 wishes since the charity's inception in 2003.

Speaking upon his new role, Dele said, " I am honoured to become an ambassador for Rays of Sunshine. Every day of the year the charity makes a positive difference to lives of children and families going through challenging times. I am looking forward to supporting this amazing cause and helping to make life a little brighter for even more children.”





The charity's CEO, Jane Sharpe, added, " Becoming a footballer is the ultimate dream for so many young children and Dele Alli is a great source of inspiration to so many. We couldn’t be more delighted to announce him as our new ambassador and look forward to working with him to make wishes come true for brave and deserving children across the UK."

The highly rated Spurs man will participate in Rays of Sunshine events, support the charity's ongoing campaigns and even get involved in some individual wishes that will be granted in the upcoming months.
