Son: I'll always be there for Dele

[mawspurs]

Spurs captain Heung-min Son has said he will always be there for former team-mate Dele Alli, who was back at Spurs to watch Saturday's win.

Dele recently spent six weeks in a US rehab facility to address an addiction to sleeping pills and issues arising from a traumatic upbringing, in which he revealed he was molested aged six and turned to dealing drugs.

I wonder if Ange had taken over after Poch not Jose if things might have gone differently for Dele. He’s still a kid at heart and needed an arm round the shoulder and to be allowed to find himself and be free, Jose probably put too much pressure and spotlight on him imo (not that Dele’s past is Jose’s fault) but I think that at that age and time in his career I don’t think Jose was a good next manager for Dele after father figure Poch.
