Tottenham will allow Dele Alli to leave on loan in January

Chairman

Daniel Levy

has previously refused to allow

to leave the club, most notably turning down numerous approaches from

during the previous winter window.

Nuno Espirito Santo

's tenure as

manager appeared to have allowed Dele to regain his best form, but he has since fallen out of the pecking order under new coach

Antonio Conte

.

Dele's only Premier League appearance under Conte so far came late in a 3-1 home win over

in November, and his only start was against

in the Europa Conference League.

Alli's current deal at Tottenham runs until 2024, so a loan transfer looks to be more likely than a permanent move.

Spurs signed Alli from

for £4.5 million in 2015, and he has scored 61 goals in 265 games for the club.
