Former England international Dele Alli is leaving no stone unturned in his bid to revive his football career, undergoing intensive pre-season training with Italian side Como.
A New Chapter in Italy
The 28-year-old midfielder, who enjoyed spectacular success with Tottenham before his career stalled, is determined to make his mark in Serie B. Photographs from training sessions show a focused and physically transformed Alli, clearly taking his opportunity in Italy seriously.
Love and Support on the Sidelines
Adding to the positive atmosphere surrounding his comeback attempt, Alli's model girlfriend Cindy Kimberly has been a constant presence during his training regimen. The 26-year-old social media influencer has been spotted watching sessions intently, offering moral support as Alli works to rebuild his professional career.
The road to recovery hasn't been easy for the once-celebrated midfielder. After revealing traumatic personal struggles including addiction and mental health challenges, Alli's move to Como represents more than just another club transfer—it's a chance at redemption.
From Premier League Star to Serie B Prospect
Alli's decline from PFA Young Player of the Year and England regular to out-of-favor Everton player was both rapid and concerning for football fans who had watched his meteoric rise. His loan move to Turkish side Besiktas failed to reignite his form, making the fresh start in Italy potentially career-saving.
"The support from the club and my loved ones has been incredible," Alli recently shared in an interview, though he declined to discuss specific timelines for his first-team debut.
What's Next for the Comeback Kid?
Como, part-owned by Cesc Fabregas, are showing patience with their high-profile signing. The club understands that Alli's journey back to competitive football requires both physical preparation and mental resilience.
With pre-season in full swing and the new campaign approaching, all eyes will be on whether the former MK Dons prodigy can recapture even a fraction of the form that once made him one of England's most exciting talents.
For now, the images of a dedicated Alli training hard with his partner's support suggest a man fully committed to writing the next chapter of his football story.
