    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Dele enjoyed a memorable few seasons at Spurs, scoring 67 goals in 269 appearances between 2015-22. His promising career fizzled out, however, when a combination of poor form and personal issues meant he was unable to sustain the same standards.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    In 2023, Dele opened up to Gary Neville on The Overlap podcast, revealing he had been sexually abused aged six and that he had admitted himself to rehab because of a sleeping pill addiction. He has since signed for Como, for whom he was sent off on debut last month.
