Odds Slashed on Dele Alli Joining English Club After Como Release

Dele Alli is a free agent again after the former Spurs midfielder agreed to the termination of his contract at Serie A outfit Como.

The 29-year-old former England international, who signed an 18-month contract with Como in January following his departure from Everton, made just one appearance for Cesc Fabregas' side.

After coming on in the 81st minute against AC Milan in March – his first appearance since February 2023 – the midfielder was shown a red card in stoppage time as Como fell to a 2-1 defeat.

Alli never featured again under Fabregas and on Monday evening, the club released a statement to confirm his departure.

“Dele is keen to secure regular playing opportunities and, as he was not part of the club’s immediate plans, both parties felt it was the right decision to part ways ahead of the transfer window closing,” read the statement.

“The club thanks Dele for his time at Como and wishes him the very best for the future."

As a free agent who was released before the end of the Italian window, Dele is now free to sign for another European club.

Newly-promoted Championship side Birmingham City are currently the bookies' favourite to sign the midfielder at 5/1 with Betfair, while West Brom (7/1), Wrexham (8/1) and Sheffield United (10/1) follow.

Elsewhere, the 29-year-old is currently 33/1 to play alongside Lionel Messi at Inter Miami.

Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “After his Como contract was terminated on transfer deadline day, Birmingham have emerged as the favourites to sign Dele Alli for the 2025/26 season.

"Chris Davies’ side are the 5/1 frontrunners to land the former England international, while West Brom follow at 7/1 and Wrexham 8/1."

He added: "With the 29-year-old’s career in limbo having made only one appearance for the Serie A side, Alli is 12/1 to join Rangers, with a move to Celtic 18/1. Meanwhile, a spell at David Beckham’s Inter Miami is priced at 33/1.”

Dele backed to become academy coach at former club

As noted by Como in their previously mentioned statement, Dele is keen to secure regular playing opportunities, but earlier this year, former Spurs striker Clive Allen explained why a role at Tottenham could be a good idea.

"Maybe that [a return to Tottenham] could be possible," he told Tottenham News. "Every football supporter will be wishing him well at Como. He’s had a big dip, which can happen.

"The fact that he’s bouncing back and getting back into the game, let’s hope he can do it. Maybe one day he can get back up to the level we know."

Allen added: "A role at Tottenham maybe. I’m not sure if he’s a coach or a possible manager, an academy coach to give knowledge to young people. He may look at educating young players around depression and avoiding certain situations.“
