By Amir Mir
Eric Dier has aimed a hilarious dig at Tottenham ace Dele Alli by stating he would only go to Real Madrid “on holiday” amid speculation linking him with the club.
Alli, 20, has been in magnificent form this season, in particular, his goalscoring touch.
This has seen him being touted for a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid as the youngster aims to clinch the Premier League title with Spurs.
The Mirror previously claimed that the current Champions League holders are planning a stunning swoop on the young England star in the summer.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side are currently on a four-day warm weather training camp in Barcelona after their 2-2 draw against Manchester City at the weekend.
Ahead of their trip, defender Dier was interacting with supporters on his personal Instagram account, when a supporter asked whether his teammate Alli will be joining Real Madrid.
“What on holiday,” Dier replied to his Instagram followers, as posted by an unofficial sports Twitter account.
Alli has played 28 games in all competitions this season, scoring an impressive 12 goals from the middle of the park and supplying five assists.
He has scored eight goals in his last six Premier League games, including finding the back of the net against Pep Guardiola’s City on Saturday.
When Pochettino’s side return from their training camp in Barcelona, they will take part in the FA Cup on Saturday against Wycombe.
The north London club will be looking to progress through to the next round, having comfortably beaten Championship outfit Aston Villa in the previous round.
