Dele Alli lauds Pochettino in his goodbye letter to Tottenham
Dele Alli signed for Everton on Monday, ending a seven-year stay at Tottenham Hotspur, and he has penned a note to thank his old team.
Dele Alli, who joined
Everton
on January closing day from Spurs, has sent a special thanks to his previous club, praising former Spurs manager
Mauricio Pochettino
in particular.
Alli's seven-year stay at Tottenham ended on Monday, with the midfielder joining the Toffees on an initial free transfer.
Everton will be obligated to pay £10 million for the playmaker if he makes 20 appearances, with performance-based add-ons potentially pushing the total to £40 million.
After joining Spurs from MK Dons in 2015, the 25-year-old scored 67 goals and assisted 55 times in 269 appearances.
On Tuesday, Alli thanked his previous club on social media, stating they will "always" be in his heart.
"It's the end of a chapter but not the book," he wrote. "Thank you for all the messages. I've had an incredible seven years at Tottenham and have made some lifelong friends that now feel like family! I want to wish my brothers all the best for the rest of the season and more.
"To the fans I want to say thank you. We've had some incredible moments together that will stay with me for the rest of my life and I will never forget the amazing support you have given me. Playing for you was a dream come true and you will always be in my heart.
"I want to give a special mention to Mauricio [Pochettino] and his staff for their trust and guidance in the early part of my career at Spurs, which gave me the confidence and platform to show what I can do.
"I love you all and wish you the best for the future!"
