After featuring in over 230 matches for Daniel Levy’s Spurs, Dele has been directly involved in an impressive 121 goals, in all competitions.

However, after flourishing under former manager Mauricio Pochettino, Dele has since found himself fall majorly out-of-favour with current boss Jose Mourinho.

The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has started in just two Premier League matches so far this season.

Dele’s exclusion from Mourinho’s first-team plans have sparked speculation that the Englishman is keen on a reunion with Pochettino who now manages Paris-Saint Germain.

According to a recent report from football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Dele, who has been axed from Mourinho’s team to face Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon, is pushing for a move to the French capital.

Romano claims that despite Dele’s eagerness to try his hand in the Ligue 1, the Spurs hierarchy are still unsure whether or not to allow the 24-year-old to leave.
