‘He doesn’t deserve to play’ – Dele Alli slammed by Besiktas manager after being frozen out of team

DELE ALLI’S Besiktas manager has claimed the midfielder “doesn’t deserve to play” for the club at the moment.

Besiktas boss Senol Gunes has claimed Alli’s current form does not warrant a place in the team.

Alli, 26, has played just one minute of league action since October – the same month Gunes was appointed manager.

He has been largely frozen out of the team ever since Gunes took over from Valerien Ismael.

The on loan Everton man was an unused substitute in last night’s Turkish Cup defeat to Ankaragucu.

And after the game Besiktas boss Gunes claimed Alli is not deserving of a place in the team at this moment in time.

He said, via the Mail: “Dele Alli has had a good career.

“But he doesn’t deserve to play at the moment.”

Alli has struggled in Turkey since joining Besiktas on loan in the summer.

After receiving a hero’s welcome at the airport, Alli scored in just his second game for the club.

But he has struggled in recent months, and was booed off the pitch by Besiktas fans in December.

Earlier this month reports claimed the 37-cap England international could even be sent back to Everton early.

He has played just 10 games for Besiktas since joining, and has fallen out of favour since Gunes was appointed boss.
