Stars of the Premier League have thrown their support behind Dele Alli after he gave an extremely emotional interview about his life and professional career.

Alli opened up on 'The Overlap' as he revealed he became addicted to sleeping pills while talking about the downfall in his career.

He also hit out at 'fake' managers and slammed Amazon for their 'selective editing' of the 2020 Tottenham documentary.
