England Rising Star Dele Alli Learning The Trade From Denmark Star Christian Eriksen

Dele Alli has looked back on the 2015-2016 season and reckons that his game improved tremendously as a result of playing alongside Denmark star Christian Eriksen in Tottenham Hotspur’s midfield.

On a personal level, the highlight of Alli’s season was being named the PFA Young Player of the Year after notching ten goals (nine assists) in his first season in the Premier League, having joined the Londoners from MK Dons.

“Christian is a great player – there’s no hiding the fact that he’s world class and he’s a joy to play with,” Alli told tottenhamhotspur.com.

“He’s one of the players that you enjoy working with every day in training. ”

He added : “You get to watch him and see how hard he works on the training field and when you do that it’s no surprise when he produces on matchdays the way he does.

“As a young player, to be able to watch someone like Eriksen, who is obviously young as well, for me it’s a great privilege.”

The 20-year-old Dele Alli will be hoping to display his wares at the 2016 European Championship after making the Three Lions provisional roster for the tournament in France.
