Life is good for Dele Alli, with the 20-year-old midfielder doubling his money on Monday by committing himself to Tottenham with a new six-year contract.

The England international has agreed a deal that will keep him at White Hart Lane until 2022, and is understood to have doubled his weekly salary from £25,000 to around £55,000 a week.

Alli signed a new five-year contract only in January, but it is a measure of how highly manager Mauricio Pochettino regards the midfielder that Spurs have further extended his deal and significantly increased his wages.

The midfielder has quickly become a fan favourite at White Hart Lane for his charasmatic performances, earning praise from the supporters with a song that also aims a cheeky dig at Arsenal rival Mesut Ozil.

When asked how it felt to hear 80,000 Spurs fans chanting his name during Champions League matches at Wembley, Alli replied: "It makes the hairs stand up on your arms, it's unbelievable.

"The fans like that song as well, so do I - it's a good song, I like it!"

'We've got Alli, Dele Alli' lyrics

"We’ve got Alli, Dele Alli,

"I just don’t think you understand,

He only cost five mill,

He’s better than Ozil,

"We’ve got Dele Alli."

When pressed on whether he had ever sung the song himself, Alli joked: "In the shower, yeah!"

Alli also said of his new long-term deal: “I am happy to be here and playing at Tottenham.

"I can’t think of anywhere better with the fans and the manager we have got here and the young team. It is a great place to be.”
