Former English football player Dele Alli is expected to come back to the sport after a two-year absence.

After a long and challenging journey, Dele Alli is finally set to return to the football field. It's been almost two years since the former Tottenham and England star last played professionally, but he has never given up on his love for the game. At the age of 28, Dele became a free agent after his contract with Everton expired last summer. However, he continued to train with the team as he worked towards rebuilding his career.

Dele was once hailed as one of the most promising young players in the world. During his time at Tottenham from 2015 to 2019, he scored an impressive 67 goals and provided 57 assists in 269 appearances. He was also twice named PFA Young Player of the Year and played a key role in Tottenham's journey to the Champions League final in 2019. Dele was also a part of the England squad that finished fourth in the 2018 World Cup.

Despite his early success, injuries and unsuccessful transfers to Everton and Besiktas took a toll on Dele's form. His last professional game was in February 2023 for Besiktas. In a candid interview with Gary Neville, Dele revealed his struggles with mental health and addiction to sleeping pills. He also opened up about his difficult upbringing, sharing that he was sexually abused as a child.

As a result, Dele took a break from football to focus on his well-being. But in April last year, he made it clear that he was determined to make a comeback and had his sights set on playing for England in the 2026 World Cup. In December, he left Everton and began training with Italian team Como, which is managed and co-owned by former Arsenal and Chelsea player, Cesc Fabregas.

It seems that Dele has impressed the team at Como, as it has been reported that he will be signing a professional contract with them. The announcement is expected to be made on Sunday, with the contract running until the summer of 2026 and an option for another year depending on his performances and availability. Fabregas has acknowledged that Dele has not played competitively in a while, but he is glad to have him as part of the team and believes he can regain his top form.

Como is currently in the Serie A and narrowly avoided relegation last season. They are currently 16th in the table and Dele will surely be a valuable addition to the team. This is an exciting new chapter for Dele and his fans, and we can't wait to see him back on the pitch, doing what he loves best.
