Everton’s £100,000-per-week star ‘will never play for club again’ at Goodison Park.
Everton’s £100,000-per-week star appears to have made his final appearance in a Toffees shirt.
Everton sensation Dele Alli is’more likely’ to never play again for the Toffees due to a fundamental factor at Goodison Park, according to journalist Paul Brown.
After guiding the Merseyside club to Premier League survival by a hair’s breadth last season, Sean Dyche’s charges look set to be involved in another relegation scrap following an underwhelming start to the new season, but Dele may not be given the chance to steer his side away from danger.
Everton’s most recent news – Dele Alli
Dele’s wait to make an effect on the new season has been extended after the Daily Mail disclosed just days before the season began last month that he had been forced to slack off his training routine due to a setback in his recovery from hip surgery.
The latest setback comes after Everton manager Dyche admitted the creative midfielder is’miles away’ from being reintegrated into the group and, as a result, patience is required following a lengthy absence from the club.
During the summer, Dele revealed that he had spent six weeks in a rehab center in the United States battling a sleeping drug addiction.
The 27-year-old also discussed his mental health difficulties and a traumatic background, prompting Everton fans to show their support by unfurling a banner in the Gwladys Street Stand during the club’s opening-day defeat to Fulham.
Despite the fact that acclaimed writer Brown recently told GIVEMESPORT that it is a ‘big order’ for Dele to rebuild his career on Merseyside and that a departure is possible, he has remained at Goodison Park.
But the ex-Milton Keynes Dons man, who earns £100,000 per week at Everton, has been backed to regain his best form by former England and Tottenham Hotspur teammate Harry Kane.
What did Paul Brown have to say about Dele?
Brown believes Everton made the right decision not to terminate Dele’s contract after he returned from a 15-match loan spell with Turkish club Besiktas.
However, the respectable reporter believes the 37-cap England international has already made his final appearance in a Toffees shirt because he does not fit the way Dyche likes to play and the club would be obliged to pay if he secures regular playing time.
Brown stated to GIVEMESPORT:
Why is Everton in danger of having to pay Dele?
Everton purchased Dele from Tottenham Hotspur during the last phases of the winter window in 2022 and are set to pay £10 million if he makes 20 appearances, according to The Guardian.
Individual successes and team-related add-ons, according to the source, could raise the sum to almost £30 million for the midfielder, who joined Everton after scoring 128 goals in 269 appearances for Tottenham.
However, Everton have not had to pay the north Londoners any money since his arrival because he has only made 13 games, which means the first £10 million installment will be due if he appears seven more times.
With the Toffees’ financial problems well publicized, having been charged with breaking Premier League financial rules earlier this year, they need to preserve every penny they can.
As a result, Dyche, who has led Everton to six wins in 23 games, is unlikely to make Dele a regular starter whenever he returns to full fitness.
