(Reuters) - Former Tottenham Hotspur and Everton midfielder Dele Alli has signed an 18-month deal with promoted Serie A side Como, with an option to extend for an additional year, the Italian club said on Sunday.

The 28-year-old former England international 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.
