DELE ALLI has been handed a lifeline at Everton after being named in the squad the club's pre-season tour.
The 27-year-old had a disastrous loan spell at Turkish side Besiktas last season.
Alli's contract at Everton expires in the summer of 2024 and there has been rumours his time at Goodison Park was over.
His former boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he is keen to help the ex-England midfielder get back on track and wants to speak to him – despite being appointed the new Chelsea manager.
Poch said: "I hope to have some time to call and see because he is a great guy and I want to talk a bit with him. I want to help him and see what is going on.”
Meanwhile, his current manager Sean Dyche has offered him a chance to prove himself.
