Dele Alli is set to be the next Tottenham star to sign a new long-term contract after Harry Kane penned a six-year deal on Friday.

Spurs want Alli to similarly commit his future to the club and also aim to secure the futures of Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Eric Dier, Son Heung-Min and Kieran Trippier before next season.

They hope Kane’s commitment and Mauricio Pochettino’s new five-year deal will create a domino effect.

Alli currently earns around £60,000 a week on the six-year deal he signed in September 2016 but, like Kane, Spurs are willing to hand him a significant pay-rise and take him closer to £100,000 per week.

The 22-year-old faced criticism last season after failing to hit the same goal-scoring heights of the 2016-17 campaign, but he still finished the season with nine goals and 10 assists in the Premier League as Spurs finished third.

Alli has been at the centre of a number of controversies for club and country in the past two years but has insisted he will not fall foul of Fifa’s new rules in Russia.

Players can be sanctioned retrospectively during a match at the World Cup, meaning referees could take action at half-time if they are made aware of an incident they missed during the first half. “I’ve got everything under control,” said Alli, who was banned for one match by Fifa for an obscene gesture, which was apparently directed at his former Spurs team-mate Kyle Walker, during the World Cup qualifier against Slovakia in September.

“Every game is different and you never know what’s going to happen, but that’s not what I’m going to be worrying about. There are a lot more things I need to focus on and put my concentration on in a game rather than that.

“We all know football is developing, and we had a couple of games [at Tottenham] where VAR played a part, but we have to be open to change, especially in any way it can help the game as far as possible.”
