Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli reignited North London rivalries in England training on Thursday by embarrassing Arsenal counterpart Jack Wilshere with a delightful nutmeg.

The 20-year-old, who has nutmegged countless opponents this season, turned on the style in a training match during a two-hour session in Chantilly, with both players desperate to impress manager Roy Hodgson.

Alli was left out of the starting XI that drew against Slovakia on Monday, while Wilshere was hauled off before the hour-mark after a sub-par performance.

Next up is a last-16 clash against minnows Iceland, with the two midfielders likely to be competing for one spot in a midfield that will include captain Wayne Rooney and ever-present enforcer Eric Dier.




Alli was clearly enjoying himself in the session, pulling out a host of tricks and flicks and even performing a sliding header to nudge home the ball, much to the amusement of Gary Cahill.
