Alli is a freak and up there with Gerrard and Scholes, says Anderton

The 21-year-old is playing well beyond his years whilst sharing the limelight at White Hart Lane alongside fellow England team-mate Harry Kane

Dele Alli is a "freak" and can be compared to Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes, according to former Tottenham midfielder Darren Anderton.

The England international has scored 21 goals in all competitions this season and his performances have drawn comparisons to the best midfielders of the Premier League era.

He has played an integral role in Spurs being the only team to push Chelsea in recent weeks and he has a big admirer in Anderton.
