Como have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Dele Alli, with the playmaker preparing to pen a contract with the Italian outfit until June 2026, with the option of a further season.
The former England international has been without a club since leaving Everton last summer, but he has been training with Como of late.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Dele is now preparing to pen a contract with the Italian team until June 2026, but there will be the option for a further campaign, based on appearances and availability.
The 28-year-old started his professional career with MK Dons before making the move to Tottenham Hotspur, and he was once regarded as one of the best attacking talents in world football.
Dele has struggled in recent seasons, though, and he will now be looking to reignite his career under Cesc Fabregas at Como.
