England midfielder Dele Alli will begin training with Serie A club Como FC on December 26, marking a crucial opportunity to revive his career. Currently without a club, Alli will be assessed by Como’s coaching staff, including head coach and former football star Cesc Fabregas, who have a high opinion of the player. Should he impress, the newly promoted Serie A team can offer him a contract.
Fabregas, known for his time at clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea, has taken a personal interest in Alli’s potential. Como’s sporting director has also spoken positively of the midfielder’s prospects, emphasizing Fabregas’ admiration for the former England international. The club have created an ideal environment for Allis’ transition, signaling their intention to support his return to the sport.
Alli has struggled with form and injury in recent years, leading to him leaving Everton in June 2024, when his contract expired. His last competitive match dates back to 26 February 2023, during a loan spell with Turkish club Besiktas, where he faced Antalyaspor. Once a rising star in English football, Alli is now focusing on making a comeback and regaining the form that once made him a key player for Tottenham Hotspur.
Alli’s 28-year-old highlights include 37 caps for England, during which he scored three goals. In the Premier League, he was an outstanding performer, scoring 51 goals and 34 assists over 194 games.
Alli was recently spotted at the Stadio Sinigaglia supporting Como during their 2-0 win over Roma. His presence at the match fueled speculation about a potential move to the Italian club. Alli is now training with the team and has a chance to work closely with Fabregas and prove his worth in Serie A.
For Como, who are currently fighting relegation, Alli’s signing could be a game-changer. For the player, it is an opportunity to rebuild his reputation and return to competitive football at the highest level. Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see if Alli can resume his once promising career in Italy.
