Dele Alli is DECIDED by Besiktas chief because he is not ‘what they expected’… as the Turkish side’s president insists he hopes the midfielder ‘recovers like a human being’ after a disastrous loan spell
- Alli endured a tough run on the field and struggled again in Turkey
- He was pictured surrounded by nitrous oxide canisters during his spell in April
- Besiktas club president Ahmet Nur Cebi said Alli ‘needs to recover as a human being’
Dele Alli has been criticized by Besiktas club president Ahmet Nur Cebi after his disastrous loan spell in Turkey came to an end.
Alli joined the club on loan from Everton last summer in hopes of reviving his career, but more failures followed as the former England player netted three goals in 15 appearances.
He now faces an uncertain future and will return to Everton before his next move is mapped out, but he will certainly not return to Besiktas after being knocked down by Cebi.
Speak against Being into sportsBlamed Cebi Alli’s actions from the pitch after the 27-year-old was pictured surrounded by nitrous oxide canisters, claiming his club didn’t get what they expected when they agreed to the deal.
He commented on Alli as a player and as a person, clearly happy to see the midfielder’s back at the end of the season.

Ahmet Nur Cebi says he hopes Alli ‘recovers like a human being’ when he returns to Everton
Alli was seen with a balloon in his mouth in a photo circulating on social media. The table was littered with all sorts of other party goodies, including £215.00 tequila from Selfridges, Magnum Jamaican tonic wine and Siberia ‘extremely strong’ snus – a form of chewing tobacco
“He was a player that we were very excited about when he came,” said Cebi. ‘He’s not coming back. We didn’t get what we expected from him. I hope he recovers as a human being.’
Alli seems to have endured off-field trouble in recent years and his decline since playing for Tottenham Hotspur in a Champions League final and England in a World Cup semi-final has been remarkable.
He still has a year left on his Everton deal, which will cost the Toffees £100,000 a week and cost a fee that could be as high as £40m.
Alli scored just three times during his time in Turkey and played just 15 games in total
Sean Dyche could give Alli a lifeline at Everton but hinted at the midfielder’s wrong choices
He will return to Goodison Park under a new manager, perhaps Sean Dyche will give Alli a new slate to prove himself.
However, he recently hinted that the 27-year-old needed to improve his attitude to be successful in football.
“Some of the things that have been said and reported… he’s 27 and like other players he knows certain things and knows what to do or what not to do,” said Dyche. “Forget Everton, as a manager you can’t control everything they do in their lives.
‘You can only guide people with what you think is good for them and in the end they have choices. We advise them to make good choices.’
