Dele Alli will return to Tottenham this weekend for the North London derby.

Tottenham sit 16th in the Premier League and five points clear of the relegation zone after winning seven games this season.

On top of that, interim boss Igor Tudor has his work cut out for him against Arsenal this weekend as his side attempt to avoid dropping closer to the drop zone. 

One silver lining however is that Dele Alli will return to the side in an attempt to boost the side, who need any advantage they can get at the moment as fans turn on the club. 

An official statement on the club’s official website reads:  

“Dele returns to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday as our special guest for the north London derby. 

“One of the most popular players of the modern era - 67 goals in 269 appearances in all competitions - the attacking midfielder won the hearts of Spurs fans over his seven years in Lilywhite, 2015-22. It says it all that his song 'we've got Dele...' was the first sung by fans at the new stadium, ahead of opening night against Palace in April, 2019. 

“Supporters will be able to serenade him again at half-time on Sunday, when he will no doubt reminisce about some magical Spurs memories with Paul Coyte.” 

Alli, just 29 years old, has been without a club since September after leaving Serie A side Como, where he made just one appearance under Cesc Fabregas. 

Arsenal, who have won just two of their last seven Premier League games in pursuit of the title are desperate for a win much like Spurs in what should be an intense clash from start to finish
