DELE ALLI rubbed shoulders with the Hollywood A-list at Como's drama-packed Serie A win over Roma. But the former England midfielder is more interested in finding if he'll be on an Italian PLAYER list after Christmas. Cesc Fabregas' Como have been inviting big names to help make them more fashionable.
Actors Keira Knightley, Adrien Brody and Michael Fassbender were there on Sunday. Alli went for a more low-key watching brief - with a cap and his casual hoodie both on his head in the stands. But there was a promising hint that the ex-Tottenham ace, 28, could soon get a chance to revive his career.
First Alli saw striker Alessandro Gabrielloni and Argentina midfielder Nico Paz strike on 93 and 97 minutes to sink Roma. Then Alli heard Fabregas speak on the future of a player who was released by Everton last summer after months out injured. Arsenal and Chelsea legend Fabregas said: I met him yesterday.

The former Spain midfielder added that he "didn't want to talk about it" more about it at this stage. That's not surprising as Fabegas will want most of the attention on a victory that lifted Coma one point above the drop zone.
He said: "The important thing is the team, Gabrielloni's goal and the feeling of playing face to face against a great team. "The boys and the city deserved a night like this. "Sometimes it's not a question of tactics, but of resilience and desire. We are Como and to get a result against these teams you have to do more than them.".
