The 28-year-old former England international, Dele Alli has 194 Premier League appearances, having scored 51 goals and 34 assists. He joined Everton in January 2022 after eight years at Spurs but only managed 13 outings due to recurrent injuries.
Alli last played for the Merseysiders in August 2022 as his injury issues continued. He was also loaned out to Turkish side Besiktas for a season after which he focused on recovery.
“The club believes in Dele Alli potential and is committed to helping him rediscover his best form. His experience and leadership qualities will undoubtedly benefit the squad,” Como manager Cesc Fabregas said in a statement.
“The club recognises his exceptional talent and is excited to bring him into the team. The focus will be on providing Dele with a supportive environment where he can gradually integrate into the squad.”
The midfielder revealed in early 2024 that he had been targeting a spot at the 2026 World Cup with England as he looks at an eventual return to international football.
Dele Alli previously starred as an England regular and played at Euro 2016 and the World Cup in Russia two years later, but hasn’t featured since making his 37th international appearance six years ago.
‘You know you can set reminders on your phone, I have a reminder at 11 o’clock every day that says, “World Cup 2026”,’ he said on Sky Sports in April. ‘That’s my aim for now. I think that people will be like, “he hasn’t played in a year” but I don’t care, I know my level.
‘The only target I have is the World Cup right now. Obviously I’m injured and contracted to Everton and so my mind is just about taking it day by day and making sure my injury is healed and that I’m in the best possible condition after the summer.
‘It’s annoying because I’ll be just fully training as the season ends so it means that I won’t have to rush it.’
Everton were, meanwhile, open to offering Dele Alli a new contract in August. Sean Dyche said things were ‘ticking along nicely’, but talks never progressed.
Alli made a total of 13 appearances for Everton, failing to score a goal.
