# Newcastle fans react to Dele Alli loan rumours

A number of [Newcastle United](https://readnewcastle.com/) supporters have been reacting to reports from [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/12/21/dele-allis-future-doubt-midfielder-fails-make-bench-leicester/) suggesting that the Magpies could be interested in taking [Dele Alli](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/tottenham-hotspur-darren-bent-touts-dele-alli-plan-as-he-drops-psg-loan-claim/) on loan to St James’ Park in January.

Alli has endured a torrid first half of the season, with the attacking midfielder having been frozen out of the Tottenham side by Jose Mourinho. The [37-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dele-alli/nationalmannschaft/spieler/207929) England international has been limited to just four Premier League appearances so far this term and he was left out of the squad altogether for their 2-0 defeat against Leicester on Sunday ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dele-alli/leistungsdaten/spieler/207929)).

[The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/12/21/dele-allis-future-doubt-midfielder-fails-make-bench-leicester/) reported that he might be made available to go out on loan when the January transfer window opens. The 24-year-old has been linked with a potential move to Everton, while AS Monaco have also been monitoring his situation, with the Magpies potentially in the market to add Alli to their squad on a temporary basis in January ([The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/12/21/dele-allis-future-doubt-midfielder-fails-make-bench-leicester/)).

The England star would likely add plenty of qualities to the Magpies’ midfield, and he did score eight goals and register four assists in 25 Premier League appearances last term ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/dele-alli/198028)). The midfielder just needs regular game-time to get his career back on track, something which Newcastle could provide.

### **Newcastle fans react to Dele Alli rumours**

Many Newcastle fans on Twitter feel that signing Alli would make a difference for them, but some suggested that St James’ Park would not be the best place for him and that Bruce’s [conservative approach](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-bruce-newcastle-united-19491376) might well put off players of his calibre making the move to Tyneside.

> If Jose doesn’t want him, we don’t either. Trouble. Good characters will hopefully see us survive this year – and he isn’t one
