Alli content with overall game
Tottenham Hotspur and England midfielder Dele Alli was happy with his form during the season just ended, insisting that he developed his all-round game.
The 23-year-old netted just seven goals for Spurs last term, having managed double that tally during the 2017/18 season.
It's been a great season for learning for me.

However, Alli is content with what he achieved, especially as he was trying to improve on other facets within his play, as well as dealing with a number of injury problems.
He told reporters: "It's been a great season for learning for me. It's been the first when I’ve had muscle injuries, so that was difficult, but I’ve kept working hard.
"I haven't scored as many goals or got as many assists, but other parts of my game - defensively, in possession - not just getting on the end of things and finishing chances, I think I've improved on that.
"So next season, hopefully, it will all come together and I’ll get the goals, assists and keep the other parts of my game in the build-up play."
Alli helped Spurs finish in fourth place in the Premier League, while they enjoyed a superb campaign in Europe, making it all the way to the Champions League final - where they were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool.
Tottenham can be backed at 4/6 to end in the top-four again next season, while they are 14/1 to win the Premier League title.
