Dele has been invited to train with Italian side Como by their manager Cesc Fabregas as he seeks to rebuild his career that saw him play in a Champions League final and a World Cup semi-final and twice win the PFA Young Player of the Year award. He wrote on Instagram: “As widely published this week, 2025 may set me on a new path with some exciting opportunities. Before any of that happens it’s very important for me to make clear how grateful I am of all the fans, staff and players at Everton FC for the support they have given me.
“It’s been an incredibly tough journey trying to put the final pieces together to regain match fitness and I cannot thank the Everton staff enough for the hard work they have put into this process. Unfortunately things haven’t worked out as we all would have hoped and I think it’s the right time for me to turn a new page. I want to wish everyone at this amazing club the very best of luck and hopefully we will see each other again soon.”.
