Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino reveals he wants to phone 'great guy' Dele Alli 'to see what is going on' after the Everton star's fall from grace - and insists his ex-Tottenham player 'has the mentality' to succeed

Mauricio Pochettino is keen to help former Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli following his spectacular fall from grace over the last few years.

The new Cheslea manager coached the midfielder during their time together at Spurs and helped him become one of the most prolific midfielders in world football.

Alli's career has fallen off a cliff since Pochettino left the club, however, with spells at Everton and Besiktas not working out as fans start to remember him for the wrong reasons.

He's still an Everton player, and will likely be afforded a fresh start under Sean Dyche in pre-season, though he has a long way to go to prove he has the ability to play week in, week out in the Premier League.
