Jose Mourinho ready to offload Dele Alli and replace him with RB Leipzig ace Marcel Sabitzer

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is prepared to see Dele Alli offloaded and replaced by RB Leipzig ace Marcel Sabitzer.

The Evening Standard says RB Leipzig's Sabitzer is on Tottenham's shortlist.

He's a player Spurs know well after his double helped sink them in the Champions League last 16 before lockdown earlier this year.

The Austrian is believed to be interested in the prospect of playing for Tottenham, particularly under Mourinho.

He's an option that the Tottenham hierarchy have considered before and if Alli does depart, a move is expected.

Ultimately, any decision may boil down to Mourinho's verdict on Alli and whether he believes there is a way back for him at Tottenham.
