Dele Alli's future at Tottenham has been cast into further doubt after the Englishman was left out of Jose Mourinho's squad for the trip to Southampton on Sunday. It is reported that Thomas Tuchel's Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have shown interest in signing the star midfielder. More so, Gareth Bale's return to Spurs is likely to limit Alli's appearances at the club with multiple reports linking the 24-year-old with a move away from north London but Mourinho has reportedly identified Man United's Jesse Lingard as a replacement for Alli.

Dele Alli to PSG? Tottenham offer midfielder to Ligue 1 giants
Reports from The Guardian have linked Dele Alli to PSG after the midfielder was left out of the Spurs squad for the second game in a row. Alli wasn't included in the squad that made the trip to Bulgaria for the Europa League clash against Lokomotiv Plovdiv and failed to make the squad for Spurs' 5-2 win against Southampton at St Mary's on Sunday, sparking rumours of an exit before the transfer window shuts. Amid rumours of a falling out between Alli and Mourinho, reports claim that the player has been offered to French heavyweights PSG with many other top European clubs also interested in signing the attacker.

However, sources close to the club believe Alli is determined to stay put and fight for his place. With the transfer window closing on October 5, Alli has a fortnight to sort out his situation with Spurs. Alli last signed a contract extension in October 2018, a six-year deal that will keep him at the club until 2024.

Dele Alli transfer news: Falling out with Jose Mourinho
Although Alli started the first game of the Premier League season - a 1-0 loss for Spurs against Everton - he was strangely subbed off at half-time. After the game, Mourinho seemingly took a jibe at the English star, citing "lazy press" as a reason for Spurs' defeat. Spurs also confirmed the re-signing of Gareth Bale on a season-long loan from Real Madrid, putting Alli's position at the club in serious doubt. However, the 'Special One' explained that Alli is set to earn a recall for Spurs' next game - a Carabao Cup third-round clash against Leyton Orient.
