Dele Alli to Everton named worst transfer of the season as career continues to stagnate

dailystar.co.uk:

Chelsea and England defender Glen Johnson has claimed that Dele Alli has been "the worst" Premier League signing of the season as his career continues to flounder at Everton.Frank Lampard snapped up the Tottenham outcast shortly after arriving at Goodison Park in the final days of the January transfer window in a deal that could rise to £40million.

The move was seen as a major opportunity for Alli to revive his stagnating career.But Alli has struggled for minutes on Merseyside, making just six appearances, with five of those coming from the bench.

And to compound his miserable start to life at the club, Alli has yet to register a goal or an assist for the Toffees, who are mired in a relegation battle.And his uninspiring start at Everton has led to Johnson conceding that the ex-Spurs star has been the most disappointing transfer of the season just a few weeks after his big switch in January - partly due to the excessive £40m that the Toffees could end up paying as a result of the deal's significant add-ons."The worst one, which is a bit harsh, I'd say Dele Alli to Everton," Johnson told BettingOdds.com. "It was an odd move.

At first I thought it was a good signing as I thought it was a free transfer but since then we've all learned that it could potentially cost Everton up to £40 million."And Johnson believes there could be more to Alli's woes if he can't break into an Everton side that have sleepwalked their way into a relegation battle.
