Former England international Dele Alli has embarked on a new chapter in his career by joining Serie A newcomers Como. The midfielder, who battled injuries and struggled for game time at Everton, is now stepping out of his comfort zone under the guidance of Cesc Fabregas.
Injury Woes and Everton Exit
Towards the end of 2024, Dele’s future remained uncertain after his contract with Everton expired. Despite training with the Toffees in hopes of securing a new deal, persistent injury struggles hindered his chances of earning fresh terms. With no contract renewal forthcoming, he sought a new challenge abroad.
Reuniting with Fabregas at Como
Dele has now linked up with former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who is making his managerial debut at Como. The club recently earned promotion to Serie A, and Fabregas is looking to strengthen his squad with experienced players.
The English midfielder officially began training with his new teammates on Boxing Day, marking the start of his journey in Italian football.
A Fresh Start for Dele
Dele Alli’s move to Como presents a golden opportunity to revive his career away from the pressures of English football. Under the guidance of Fabregas, he will hope to rediscover his form and make a significant impact in Serie A. Whether this move sparks a career resurgence remains to be seen, but it’s a bold step towards a fresh beginning.
