Dele Alli’s bold new hairstyle suggests he wants last chance at Everton

Dele Alli has sent a clear statement to Everton boss Sean Dyche ahead of the new season, and in classic Dele style, it's a fashion statement.

The former Tottenham man has dyed his hair blue in what social media users think is a ploy to try and get Toffees fans onside ahead of his return to Finch Farm next month.

Alli spent last season on loan at Besiktas after falling out favour under Frank Lampard, but with Dyche now at the helm, the 27-year-old has another chance at a first impression.

After a disastrous spell in Turkey – where he scored just three times in only 15 games – he'll need more than a fresh trim to convince the ex-Burnley boss he deserves a place in the first team. But his new look already seems to be working its magic on a chunk of the Everton faithful.

"Dele Alli comeback, I’m here for it," one excited Toffees supporter tweeted. Another added: "Incoming 20 goal season". A third demanded: "Get this man in the team asap," while a fourth noted: "He looks happy! That's enough for me. The comeback is on."

Another said: "Give him a go, he has about 6 or 7 games to prove himself before Everton have to cough up £10 mil to Tottenham so let him cook. Clean slate under Dyche. Could be great with a bit of discipline."

Others, however, considered Alli's new haircut a vain attempt to turn over a new leaf and insisted the midfielder needed to prove his worth on the pitch before winning the trust of the fans.

"If he wanted a come back he’d not be dyeing his hair blue and just focusing on fitness," one fan argued, while another said: "Needs to show what he's made of during games, not in barber chairs."

A third added: "He's not a footballer anymore. He's more interested in likes and shares than playing football," while a fourth wrote: "More haircuts than minutes played get rid asap."

Alli has played just 13 times for Everton since his free transfer, which could potentially rise to £40m, from Tottenham in January 2022. The Merseyside club will need to pay Spurs £10m if Alli reaches 20 appearances, and given the club's precarious financial situation, they might be reluctant to let that happen.
