Steven Gerrard has been backed to sensationally lure Tottenham star Dele Alli to Rangers by former Liverpool teammate Danny Murphy.

Alli, 24, has dropped down the pecking under Jose Mourinho, with a move away from London potentially on the cards in January.

He hasn't made a Premier League start since the opening day of the new season.

Spurs are reportedly prepared to listen to offers when the transfer window opens with Paris Saint-Germain keen on snapping him up.

But Murphy reckons Gerrard could tempt Alli to move up north to Scotland to sign for the Ibrox club.

"I'm not sure Dele would be up for it, but I thought maybe Stevie G at Rangers could persuade him to go there and win him the title," he told talkSPORT.

"He'd play every week, score a lot of goals, get his confidence up and impress Gareth Southgate."

The ex-Fulham midfielder added: "There is an argument to say would that be enough scoring at that level, because it is a drop down. But I don't know.

"Maybe playing under Stevie is something that he would enjoy."

Alli is completely out of favour at Spurs following a prolific spell at the club since his transfer from MK Dons in 2015.

He was a regular under previous manager Mauricio Pochettino and starred for England in the 2018 World Cup.

Though the midfielder has only played in three league games this campaign with most of his appearances coming in the Europa League.

As for the Gers, they're flying high at the top of the league, 13 points ahead of second-placed Celtic but could do with reinforcements ahead of the second half of the season.
