G. Sounessas: D. Alli is one of the best in the world

Former Liverpool defender Graeme Souness praised Tottenham's young player Dele Alli.

The 19-year-old, who was relatively unknown while playing for MK Dons, has become a true sensation this season.

Scoring a fantastic equalizer against Liverpool's Everton, Alli has five goals in total from 18 matches.

"He shows great maturity and is not afraid to take risks. He dribbles a lot, tries to outsmart opponents, and is very athletic," Souness told Sky Sports.

"He is only 19 years old and will only improve in the future. In football, he is still a baby."

"Many people are already wondering 'how did we not notice him?'

"If he doesn't experience serious injuries or psychological setbacks, he is destined to become one of the best players."
