THE PAINFUL REASON WHY DELE ALLI REJECTED HIS PARENTS AND THE SUPER EAGLES RELEASE
The heartbroken parents of Everton midfielder Dele Alli have revealed their despair at having no part in the superstar’s life
Dele Alli had a season to forget at Everton and could already be heading out in the summer.
The Nigerian-born midfielder signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Toffees in January from Tottenham on a free transfer.
Tottenham were due a small bonus if Dele completes ten matches for Frank Lampard’s side, but he made nine appearances and was an unused sub in their last three games of the season.
The 39-time England international has not been part of the Three Lions squad since 2019 due to his dip in form.
The heartbroken parents of Alli have revealed their despair at having no part in the superstar’s life.
Alli was born in Milton Keynes, Bucks, in April 1996 just over a year after his parents first met in a nightclub.
At the time Kehinde, originally from Nigeria, was studying for a Masters at De Montfort University.
Kehinde moved to the United States a week after Alli’s birth. Alli was initially brought up by his mother, who suffered from alcohol problems
A nine-year-old Alli then moved to Nigeria with his father after his parents split up. He spent two years in an international school before returning to Milton Keynes to live with his mother to focus on football
While in England, Alli moved in with a family of one of his teammates at MK Dons. He refers to them as his ‘adoptive parents’ although he was never legally adopted.
“When he was about 13 Dele began training at MK Dons five days a week. So for convenience, he began staying at his best friend’s house during the week, before coming home on weekends.
It was hard to let him live away from home, but we didn’t have a car and I was finding it hard to get him to training myself.”
Alli’s father and mother revealed details of the breakdown of their relationship with their son Alli.
According to them, Alli gradually began to withdraw from them after signing his professional contract with MK Dons at the age of 16. He last spoke to his mum in 2015.
