English midfielder Dele Alli confirmed that he would depart Premier League side Everton, amid talks linking him to join up with former Spain star Cesc Fabregas, who serves as the head coach of Italian side Como.
Alli, once widely touted as the next best thing in football, failed to live up to the hype due to his struggles with injuries and mental health issues.

However, his stint with the Toffees did not go to plan and was loaned out to Turkish side Besiktas in 2022 before returning to England at the end of the year.
