Former Tottenham defender Stephen Carr has spoken on the downfall of Dele Alli as he tries to find a club.

Back in September, Alli left Serie A club Como once his contract was terminated after just a single appearance for the Italian side.0

Alli had signed an initial 18-month contract at Como, having been released by Premier League side Everton in June 2024. Despite posting numerous videos of him training online, he is still without a club.0

Speaking to GOAL, in association with Casino.org, Carr spoke on Alli’s future, which at 29 years old is looking bleaker than ever.0

“It’s scary how he’s fallen. He’s only 29, just gone past being in his peak, but the amount of football he has played in the last few years is very low.0

“It’s very hard. It’s no different to when you get injured, you do all the training and getting back fit takes time. He’s missed a lot of football. The way he sounds, it seems he still has the hunger. But his chances are getting very slim now.0

“He’s had a few opportunities, it didn’t work out at Como. It’s very difficult to get back up to that pace, that standard, because the body gets used to that level and when you aren’t playing it, it’s very hard to catch up again. I think that’s where he’s at. I don’t know the ins and outs with him. He will pick up injuries. His body isn’t used to playing at the highest level now. Very difficult time. His body might be completely gone.0

“Whether somebody else gives him an opportunity… He is a top player, has played for England, but that’s the past now. It’s about now, and he hasn’t been playing, hasn’t been performing. It is last chance saloon for him. Whether he gets another very good opportunity, or whether his desire is there…”0

The former Spurs midfielder has reportedly been speaking with a number of EFL sides, including big spenders Wrexham and Birmingham in the Championship, as he reevaluates his future.0
