Dele Alli: "Steven Gerrard slept through the chance to make me join Liverpool"
Dele Alli has told BBC Sport that Steven
Gerrard missed the chance to convince him to
join Liverpool "six months afore" he joined
Tottenham Hotspur because he slumbered through
the meeting.
Alli, a Liverpool fan as a boy, joined Spurs
from MK Dons in February 2015 and has gone
on to become one of the top midfielders in the
Premier League as well as a full England
international.
But, his future could have turned out very
differently.
"At the time when I was at MK [Dons] there
was contact with Liverpool before I signed for
Tottenham," Alli said.
He was also quoted saying : "We went up there and I think they knew that
Steven Gerrard was my hero, so they said he
was going to come down to meet me, but
when I got there he was asleep apparently.
"I think he had a game the next day though so
I understand."
