Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has been named the PFA Young Player of the Year



Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has been named the PFA Young Player of the Year for 2016 after a stunning breakthrough season with Mauricio Pochettino's side.

The 20-year-old who joined Spurs from MK Dons only made his Premier League debut in August but has gone to become a key player for the north Londoners and has played a key role in their title challenge.

Alli has scored 10 goals and assisted nine in 32 games this season, playing in all but two of his side's matches which has also seen him receive an England call-up from manager Roy Hodgson.

The midfielder has also shone for his country, scoring on his first start in the 2-0 friendly win over France and starring in the Three Lions's 3-2 win over Germany in Berlin in March.

Alli was not present at the awards ceremony to collect the award in person due to Tottenham being in Premier League action on Monday night as they take on West Brom at White Hart Lane
