Tottenham are refusing to sanction Dele Alli’s proposed loan move to Paris Saint Germain despite clear indications he still has no future under Jose Mourinho.
Alli was expected to be allowed to leave Spurs this month, with PSG primed to renew their interest in the midfielder.
But the injury to Giovani Lo Celso is now threatening the move, with Tottenham currently unwilling to let Alli leave while the Argentine is on the treatment table.
Letting Alli leave could re-emerge as an option at the end of January - but as it stands Daniel Levy does not want to sanction the 24-year-old’s exit.
