EPL: Why Lampard didn’t trust Dele Alli – Alex Iwobi

Everton midfielder, Alex Iwobi has opened up on Dele Alli’s nightmare time at the club under Frank Lampard.

Iwobi claims Alli couldn’t be trusted by the club’s coaching staff.

Alli is currently recovering from surgery in England after his loan move to Besiktas ended in tatters.

“With him (Alli), he will say it himself, he isn’t a training player. Unless it’s a match in training and then you see Dele perform.

“When it comes to training matches, he is a joke. When it comes to drills – he tries, but because he’s slow with it. When it comes to games, he will score and assist or something.

“He (Lampard) couldn’t really put his trust in him. We all know Dele could have performed,” Iwobi told FilthyFellas.

Alli, who is now 27, has a contract with Everton until 2024.
