Tottenham noted that the player would go back on loan to MK Dons, something that boss Karl Robinson was insistent on when speaking withย Sky Sportsโย Goals on Sundayย (h/tย Chris Davieย of Goal.com)
"The big stumbling block in a transfer fee will be that we will want him back immediately on loan.
If youโre looking at how to structure a deal, initial fee, add-ons, and percentage of a sell-on [fee], one of the things I will request is that he comes back to play.
[...]
He can certainly hold his own [in the Premier League] but I think he needs to keep playing with us because heโll play every week for 90 minutes.
"

Sami Mokbel of the MailOnline claims that the Spursโ interest in the player comes after both Newcastle United and Aston Villa made offers for the 18-year-old. According to the piece, the Magpies were poised to land the midfielder in a ยฃ5 million deal, but it seems Mauricio Pochettinoโs men have jumped to the head of the queue.
Mokbel also claimed that the location of Spurs is a big factor in the player's decision:
Earlier in the season, James Masters of CNN paid tribute to the abilities of the teenage midfielder:
Spurs have had obvious success developing young British playersโthe ascension of Gareth Bale being the obvious exampleโand thatโs something that will surely appeal to Alli as he plots his next move. Manager Mauricio Pochettino has also showcased a willingness to give young players a chance during his time in charge of Tottenham and Southampton.

The important thing for Alli is getting minutes at this stage of the season, and thatโs why it would be little surprise to see him loaned back for MK Dons for the remainder of the campaign. After all, playing at the heart of the League One sideโnotching 12 goals in 32 appearances so far this season, per Bernsteinโs pieceโhas been a real catalyst for his stellar development.
