Alli singled out former manager Mauricio Pochettino and his staff specifically for helping him develop at the beginning of his career.

The new Everton star wrote: "It's the end of a chapter but not the book.

"Thank you for all the messages. I've had an incredible seven years at Tottenham and have made some life long friends that now feel like family!

"I want to wish my brothers all the best for the rest of the season and more.

"To the fans, I want to say thank you.

"We've had some incredible moments together that will stay with me for the rest of my life and I will never forget the amazing support you have given men.

"Playing for you was a dream come true and you will always be in my heart.

"I want to give a special mention to Mauricio and his staff for their trust and guidance in the early part of my career at Spurs, which gave me the confidence and platform to show what I can do.

"I love you all and wish you the best for the future!

"Dele out."
