Arsenal legend has blasted Tottenham star Dele Alli

Alli

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has blasted Tottenham star Dele Alli after the youngster appeared to make a middle finger gesture during England’s win over Slovakia.

Alli has come under a lot of scrutiny due to the incident and he has since insisted that the gesture was a joke aimed at team-mate Kyle Walker.

Fifa have since confirmed that they are investigating the incident and Alli could potentially face a ban as a result.

Now Wright has gone on to blast Alli by saying that he thinks the youngsters gesture was foolish. He said, “When he was pictured flicking the finger at ­ Wembley on Monday, maybe it wasn’t a nasty, malicious gesture. But it most ­definitely WAS naive and daft.”

However at the same time, Wright does think that the 21-year-old Alli is a great talent and believes that he could go on and become a key part of the England national team going into the future.

He continued, “I love Dele, I think he has the potential to be one of the best players anywhere. And I know he will have been horrified and gutted at the reaction after Monday night’s game. He won’t need telling he has done wrong.”
