Dele Alli has received an 'unbelievable' message from Manchester City’s Jack Grealish following his move to Everton.
Alli joined the Blues on a two-and-a-half-year deal from Tottenham Hotspur on deadline day to become new manager Frank Lampard ’s second signing after the loan arrival of Donny van de Beek.
After completing the move, Alli spoke of his admiration for Lampard as a player and said he looked forward to being 'happy playing football' at Goodison Park.
Having signed for Spurs from MK Dons in 2015, the midfielder posted a heartfelt message about his time at the club, alongside a compilation of his best moments.

This highlight reel prompted City star and fellow England international Grealish to comment on Instagram: “Unbelievable! What a player.”
Despite struggling for consistent form in recent seasons, Alli still recorded eight goals and four assists in 25 league games during the 2019/20 season.
And Lampard will be keen to get the midfielder back to his best.
Alli said: "I've had a few good conversations with him [Lampard] already, he's a player I admired through his whole career watching him. I'm pleased to work with him, it's very exciting, I'm sure we can do great things together.
"I just want to be happy playing football. Working with Lampard, and the great players Everton have got, is a great opportunity for me to do that. I'm excited to go there, show the fans what I can do, and help the club as much as I can."
