Dele Alli, 29, left out of Como squad and 'considering retirement' less than four years after leaving Tottenham

The footballing journey of Dele Alli has taken another sad twist, with the former England international reportedly contemplating retirement after being left out of Como's pre-season plans ahead of the new Serie A campaign.

Dele, 29, joined the ambitious Italian side in January on an 18-month deal with the option of a further year, but his future in the game is now in serious doubt after a dramatic decline in fortunes.

Once regarded as one of Europe's brightest midfielders, the former Tottenham star has struggled to rediscover his form and fitness in recent years.
