Dele Alli has said that he is delighted to have made the move to Everton from Tottenham Hotspur in the January transfer window.

Alli joined Everton from Premier League rivals Tottenham on the final day of the January transfer window.

The transfer fee for the England international midfielder could eventually rise to £40 million.

Alli told Everton’s official website: “It is a perfect match and I can’t wait to get going. Speaking to the owners and manager and some of the players… we are heading in the same direction, we want to look forward, and that is how I am as a person.

“I don’t ever think anything is enough. You want to achieve as much as you can, score as many goals and get as many wins as you can.

“To keep building and heading in the right direction. It’s what the Club wants and what I want, too.

“Frank is an amazing manager and an amazing person. He knows me very well as a player, I know him and his tactics and how he likes his teams to work.

“I can learn so much from him. He scored a lot of goals from midfield, I will speak to him about that and the way he fought on the pitch and what he did to make the most of his talent.

“The owner and Chairman were the first people I spoke to. I felt very comfortable and confident and wanted. As a player, the main thing is to feel wanted.

“Especially as an attacking and creative player, you want to know you can express yourself and bring excitement to the game, with and without the ball.

“That’s what I want to do and the kind of player I am. I am very ambitious and passionate, so feeling that from the owner and manager drives you on to want to do well for not only them but the whole club.

“I know how much it means to the fans, here, and the team and I want to help as much as I can.”

Everton are 16th in the Premier League table at the moment with 19 points from 20 matches, four points above third-from-bottom Newcastle United, who have played 21 games.

The Toffees will take on Brentford at Goodison Park in the FA Cup on Saturday and can be backed at 15/2 on Betfair to win the tie 2-1.
