Dele Alli says it’s time for him to turn a new page after confirming his Everton exit in an emotional farewell message on social media. Though the former Tottenham star has been without a club since his contract with the Toffees expired in the summer, he has continued to train with the Merseyside outfit.
In the lengthy post, the 28-year-old expressed his gratitude to the club's staff, players and fans for supporting him during a difficult time in his life. “As widely published this week, 2025 may set me on a new path with some exciting opportunities,” he wrote. “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.”. Dele was spotted in the stands at the Stadio G. Sinigaglia as Coma beat Roma 2-0 last weekend with Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reporting the next day that the midfielder would begin training with the Serie A side on December 26.
