Tottenham may have a future superstar on their hands in Dele Alli.

That is the view of former Premier League ace Jimmy Bullard, who sees similarities between the 19-year-old midfielder and the legendary Zinedine Zidane.

Alli, a £5million signing from MK Dons in February, is yet to make his first team debut for Spurs after spending the second half of last season on loan at his former club, but Bullard has already seen enough from him to suggest he has what it takes to be a huge hit at White Hart Lane.

“I watched him last season and the stature of the boy and how calm he was on the ball, it is very rare you see an English player like that,” he told Hawksbee and Jacobs.

“He has got a long way to go but the way Zidane would caress the ball, relax, and his head would swivel, he is that kind of player. He is more of a continental player.

“The boy has got power, but he’s also got great technical ability.”
