Redknapp tells Premier League trio: “You should have signed Dele Alli”

Harry Redknapp has blasted Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea for not signing Dele Alli in the summer.

The England midfielder arrived at Tottenham for £5m from MK Dons, and was on target in the Three Lions’ 2-0 win over France on Tuesday.

Alli’s progress this season has not been lost on former Spurs manager Redknapp, who believes that any club who wants him now will have to pay at least FOUR times as much.

Redknapp wrote in the Evening Standard: ‘Tottenham paid £5million for him in the end, which is nothing.

‘He’s worth at least £20m now if not a lot more. And Spurs had a clear run at signing him. Why didn’t anybody else go for him?

‘Why didn’t Arsenal sign him? Don’t tell me Chelsea shouldn’t have bought him for £5m.‘What’s £5m to Manchester United, especially with the way they throw their money around now?

‘It’s fine being a head of recruitment at a top club paying £20m for a superstar. Any mug can do that.

‘Go and pick a kid up from a lower division club. That’s when you earn your money in recruiting players.’
