Tottenham Hotspur have made the first move in trying to secure the future of Dele Alli and are willing to hand the 21-year-old a huge pay rise.

While sources insist no formal talks over a new deal have taken place, Telegraph Sport understands Spurs have signalled their intention to offer Alli a new contract before the end of the season.

Alli currently earns around £60,000-a-week on the six-year contract he signed in September 2016, but Tottenham are getting ready to renegotiate that.

Despite the fact he has not hit the heights of last season, Alli can expect to earn £100,000-a-week if he recommits himself to Spurs.

Although there is no rush, Tottenham will be keen to reach an agreement before Alli travels to the World Cup with England.
