Tottenham starlet Dele Allí has revealed that he is not thinking too far ahead and does not know where his future lies.

Spurs fans will be hoping the 21-year-old attacking midfielder stays with the north London side during his career and becomes a club legend.

The England international has made a sensational start to his career with the Premier League giants and already has 31 goals in 93 appearances.

However, Alli’s phenomenal rise has caught the attention from some of Europe’s heavyweights clubs and the Daily Mirror have reported that Barcelona and Real Madrid are targeting the Spurs ace.

The highly rated midfielder did commit his future to White Hart Lane back in September until 2022, but the club have a much stricter wage structure than other elite clubs.

Alli has confessed that football can be unpredictable and refused to predict where he will be later on in his career.

“It’s important you enjoy the journey, whether I end up at Tottenham for the next 15 years and retire here,” Alli told Sky Sports. “I think it’s important for me not to get too carried away by what will happen in the future.

“The way football is, anything can happen at any time. I will enjoy my time here now, who knows what will happen in the future.”

Alli has continued to develop rapidly this season and helped Mauricio Pochettino’s side to a likely second-placed finish in the Premier League.

The ex-MK Dons youngster has played in a more advanced role this season and former a great bond with teammate Harry Kane.

He has made 47 appearances across all competitions, scoring 21 goals and supplying 11 assists in return.
