Soon after, she met with former Tottenham Hotspur player Dele Alli. The midfielder’s meetup with Kim was quite unexpected, as the player had left his home country back in 2022. The England international agreed to a loan move to Turkish giants, Besiktas, last summer.

Dele Alli speaks ups on going AWOL

Ever since Delle joined Besiktas, he hasn’t enjoyed much game time. The 26-year-old has played just 17 matches and scored three goals. However, the player was surprisingly seen in London accompanying Kardashian and kids.

Dele’s manager Senol Gunes has accused the player of not returning after he was allowed to return to England last week. “We gave Dele Alli permission for a small break, he hasn’t come back yet. It’s raining, that’s probably why he didn’t come. We’re trying to find out where he is.”

His current club is accusing him of going AWOL, to which he responded, “Hey guys just had loads of messages so wanted to clear something up. The club gave me permission to attend a doctor’s appointment today. I’m due back in training tomorrow as normal.”

The player is currently on loan from Everton after being told by his club he is not in their plans. He joined the Toffees back in last year’s January transfer window. However, the player failed to establish himself and thus was sent on loan to get playing time.

Alli is a youth product of the English side MK Dons, who was later signed by Tottenham in 2015. After completing his loan spell once again at his former youth club, the player became a regular starter under Pochettino.
