Dele’s journey at Tottenham began with immense promise, having joined the North London side for £5 million from MK Dons. During his early years, he played a pivotal role in Spurs' push for the title and Champions League campaigns, dazzling fans with his goals and flair.
However, injuries, dips in form, and struggles off the pitch eventually disrupted his trajectory. After falling out of favour, he made a move to Everton, hoping to reignite his career. Unfortunately, regular minutes proved hard to come by at Goodison Park, and his career continued to stall.

Currently, Dele plies his trade in Italy with Serie A side Como. The team currently sits mid-table in the Italian top division, occupying 11th place as the season nears its conclusion.
Meanwhile, back in North London, Tottenham’s current crop of players are chasing European silverware. Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, the team earned a strong 3-1 win in the first leg of their semi-final against Bodo/Glimt. The performance was one of the few bright spots in what has otherwise been an inconsistent and disappointing domestic campaign. Securing a place in the Europa League final would offer a welcome silver lining for Spurs supporters, who are eager to see their club reclaim a prominent place among Europe’s elite.
