The 28-year-old’s nightmare is close to ending. Troubled by personal issues and injury problems, former England international and Tottenham superstar Dele has not played a competitive game since late February 2023.

A versatile attacking midfielder, Dele was one of the Premier League’s standout performers during the late 2010s, but his career has stagnated in recent years.

After 67 goals and 57 assists in 269 appearances for Spurs, he left the club to join Everton in 2022 but failed to make an impact at Goodison Park. He was able to make just 13 appearances for the Toffees (and 15 out on loan at Besiktas) before a groin injury sidelined him long-term.

In the summer, his contract expired but he remained with the Liverpool outfit to continue his rehabilitation and there were rumours that he could be handed an extension if he was able to prove his fitness.

This didn’t materialise and Dele had been stuck in limbo in recent months.

Dele to sign for Como

However, in December, news broke that Dele had been offered a post-Christmas trial period by former Premier League rival Cesc Fabregas and his Como side.

Dele was offered the chance to train with the Serie A team and get back to full match fitness with the chance of winning himself a contract, which according to Fabrizio Romano, he is now set to achieve.

The transfer insider reports that Como have agreed a contract with the 28-year-old. Dele will sign the deal on Sunday and it will run until June 2026 with the option for a further season tied to appearances.

Almost two years after his last game, Dele could make his return to competitive football on Monday when Como take on Udinese.
