Dele Alli has dismissed the notion that Tottenham have to spend big in the summer transfer window to win next season’s title.
Spurs finished second for the first time in the Premier League era, seven points behind champions Chelsea.
The North London club have also qualified for the Champions League group stages for the second season in a row – a feat that has never been achieved at the club before.
Speaking with the Evening Standard, Alli was keen to point out that the team has enough quality and strength in depth to compete next season and there’s no need to rush out and buy new players.
“With the players we’ve got here, we don’t need to go out and spend loads of money,” he said.
“There is a good bunch of players here. Everyone is determined, everyone works hard and there is a lot of quality in the team.
“It is important we stick together, keep working hard and keep improving. We have to take our form from the end of this season into next season, and start even stronger.
“Then, if we can finish as well as we did this season, we should be OK.”
Ever since he broke onto the Premier League scene at the start of the 2015/16 campaign, Dele Alli has been simply outstanding for Tottenham and he has shown that he can provide plenty of goals from the midfield.
The 21-year-old has improved on his achievements last year, scoring 22 goals in all competitions compared to the 10 goals he scored last season.
Alli’s displays this campaign saw him crowned as the PFA Young Player of the Year for the second season in a row – the last player to achieve this was England and Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney.
