Tottenham are not looking to sell or loan out Dele Alli during the January transfer window and expect the midfielder to stay and fight for his place in the team.
Alli has made only four appearances for Spurs in the Premier League this season, and has just two goals and one assist in 11 games in all competitions.
The 24-year-old was the subject of several bids from Paris Saint-Germain – who have just appointed former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach – in the summer window.
But Spurs do not want to allow Alli to leave as they continue to compete in four different competitions.
The club also have injuries in positions Alli could fill, with Gareth Bale, Giovani Lo Celso and Erik Lamela all currently unavailable.
But he has struggled to impress Mourinho in his rare performances this season, and the Spurs boss publicly blamed him for Stoke’s goal in the London club’s 3-1 Carabao Cup quarter-final victory last month.
Alli’s lack of opportunities at Tottenham have also seen him drop out of the England squad. Despite being a key member of the side that reached the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, he has not played for his country since June 2019.
