That solitary outing, which came off the bench in a meeting with AC Milan, lasted less than 10 minutes before he was shown a red card. Ex-Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas – who is now in charge of Como – has brought a failed experiment to a close.

Dele has not started a game since February 2023, when his final outing for Besiktas during a troubled loan spell in Turkey was cut short when being hauled off at half-time in a match. No upturn in fortune was enjoyed after returning to Everton.

The Mail claims: “Birmingham City, Wrexham, and West Brom have emerged as the favourites in the beauty contest to sign Alli. The first two offer the tantalising appeal of glitz and glamour.

“Birmingham, partly fuelled by the cash and interference of NFL legend Tom Brady, have made a strong start to life in the Championship.
