Dele Alli ‘to cut short Besiktas loan spell’ as Everton flop finally ends Turkey nightmare | Football | Sport
His hopes of a revival in the Super Lig, however, were quickly dashed after a falling out with Gunes. The feud between the pair took a bizarre turn when the Besiktas boss claimed the former Spurs star had disappeared without informing the club of his whereabouts.
“Dele Alli could not come at this time. It’s raining, I guess that’s why he couldn’t come,” Gunes said earlier this week. “We’re trying to hear from him. We could not reach him by phone. Hopefully he didn’t have an accident.”
Alli was forced to clarify that on social media that he had been given permission to see a doctor, presumably without Gunes’ knowledge, after having his professionalism called into question.
He wrote on his Instagram story: “Hey guys, just had loads of messages so wanted to clear something up. The club gave me permission to attend a doctor’s appointment today. I’m due back in training tomorrow as normal.”
