He added that "a lot happened when I was younger that I could never understand and figure out" and he has now started to receive help with the mental health issues caused by the childhood he experienced. He later talked about being "molested" as a six-year-old before being "sent to Africa to learn discipline". "At seven, I started smoking, eight I started dealing drugs," Alli told The Overlap. "An older person told me that they wouldn't stop a kid on a bike, so I rode around with my football, and then underneath I'd have the drugs. That was eight. "Eleven, I was hung off a bridge by a guy from the next estate, a man.

"Dele will always have the love and support of everyone associated with MK Dons.” Alli started his career at MK Dons before moving to Tottenham, aged 18.

Harry Kane: Tottenham striker in squad for tour but Hugo Lloris left out..By Simon Stone, BBC Sport.
ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/3212/production/_130381821_f1e2a888f63fd256cb4340c379a6a87fa685d72f.jpg
Harry Kane scored 30 goals in 38 Premier League games for Tottenham last seasonTottenham striker Harry Kane has been named in the squad for the club's pre-season tour of Australia and the Far East, but goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has been left out. Chairman Daniel Levy met with Bayern Munich officials on Thursday over the possible sale of England captain Kane. France's Lloris has been omitted so he can "explore prospective transfer opportunities", a Spurs statement read. The Spurs captain, 36, has made 447 appearances since joining in 2012. Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou refused to talk about 2018 World Cup-winner Lloris when he was asked about him during a news conference on Monday. With one year left on his contract, Kane's future has been subject to much speculation so far this summer. Bayern are keen to sign Tottenham's all-time leading goalscorer but have not been able to strike a deal for the 29-year-old. Postecoglou said on Monday that he planned to give Kane "his vision for how to make the club successful". Tottenham fly to Perth on Friday for Tuesday's all-Premier League encounter with West Ham. After visiting Perth, Tottenham will fly to Thailand, where they will face Leicester on 23rd July before heading to Singapore for a hastily arranged game against local side Lion City on 26th July after initial opponents Roma pulled out of the trip. ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/240/cpsprodpb/13F9A/production/_130381818_gettyimages-1243991851.jpg

While he's here, Kane's totally committed to Spurs - Postecoglou..ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2023/7/17/d4c7f85d-c0f1-4924-9234-d73e8b82d69b.jpgSpeaking at the same news conference in Perth, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou said he has held talks with talisman Harry Kane regarding his future but claims there is nothing "earth-shattering" to share at the moment. The Spurs striker continues to be linked with a move to Bayern Munich and Uli Hoeness, the honarary president of the Bundesliga side, is confident they will sign the England captain this summer. "The reality of it is we've got a month or so before the season starts, a bit less actually, and the transfer window's still on for a while, so we'll see how it all transpires," said Postecoglou. "There are a lot of people that know Harry [Kane] better than me, but he's not going to get fazed by anything. He's here and while he's here, he's totally committed to what we're doing." Spurs are currently in Postecoglou's native Australia as they prepare to face Premier League rivals West Ham in a pre-season friendly in Perth on Tuesday. ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2023/7/17/64b3dfc2-7f72-4000-aa6a-5018ca7335ec.jpg...................................................................................................................................................................

Harry Kane: Bayern Munich's Uli Hoeness confident of signing England captain..
ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/FB5D/production/_130394346_ulihoeness_gettyimages-1250750637.jpg
Former Bayern Munich forward Uli Hoeness was the club's general manager from 1979 to 2009 before going on to serve as presidentBayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness is confident they will sign England captain Harry Kane this summer. The German champions have reportedly bid £70m for the Tottenham striker. Chairman Daniel Levy met Bayern Munich officials on Thursday over a possible sale, and Hoeness says there have been talks with the striker's advisers. "Kane has clearly signalled in all conversations that his decision stands - and if it stays, then we'll get him," Hoeness told Sport1. "He wants to play in Europe and luckily for us Tottenham will not be next year. He now has another opportunity to come to a top club in Europe." Hoeness indicated that discussions with Kane's brother Charlie, who is his agent, and his father Patrick had been positive. "His advisers are also very pleasant in this case," he said. "Up to now, the father and the brother have always stood by what they promised. If it stays that way, that's OK." Kane, whose Spurs contract expires next June, scored 30 Premier League goals last season. Last week, new Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou said he would present his "vision" for the club to Kane amid the Bayern interest. On Friday, the 29-year-old was named in the squad for the club's pre-season tour of Australia, Thailand and Singapore.

Tottenham could make a move for 27-year-old Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who is serving a ban from football until January, if his fellow England international Kane leaves the club.

Harry Kane: Top European clubs holding out for Tottenham striker..By Simon Stone, BBC Sport.
ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/4433/production/_130495471_gettyimages-1548434266.jpg
Kane is currently on Tottenham's pre-season tour of AsiaSome of Europe's leading clubs believe there is a possibility Tottenham will sell Harry Kane this summer despite the club's insistence they are not interested in offers for the striker. Bayern Munich have had two bids rejected for Kane, 29, and met with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. Manchester United also enquired but backed off when informed how much a deal would cost them. The England captain's contract at Spurs expires next summer. Tottenham have given the impression they are prepared to let Kane enter the final year of his contract. However, that is a risky strategy as Kane could sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club in January or join a Premier League rival for nothing next summer. In the 2019-20 season, Tottenham faced a similar position with Christian Eriksen. They held onto the Danish midfielder until the January, when they eventually sold him to Inter Milan. There is a feeling within the game that Tottenham do not want to lose Kane without generating some revenue and that they could eventually buckle, which is why there is a log-jam around a number of Europe's leading strikers. Juventus' Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic, 23, and Eintracht Frankfurt's French forward Randal Kolo Muani, 24, have plenty of admirers. Bayern would be a serious option for both players but the Bundesliga giants will not move for either until they have satisfied themselves they cannot get Kane.

Surely our skipper and top scorer getting to know Germany for a year is a massive boost for England especially with Bellingham and maybe even Sancho also being big players that know Germany well! Go to Bayern please Harry. Gary: Harry Kane will not be staying at Spurs, and I suspect that a fee may already have been informally agreed. Joe Lewis does not intervene in football matters at all - he has devolved all football decision making to his co-owner Daniel Levy so it is not credible that he has said this. So Levy appears to have arranged the leak of this 'ultimatum'. Why? It doesn't help him negotiate a higher fee. So the only reason is that Levy has already got an acceptable offer on the table, and he wants something to try to stop the fans from blaming him for the sale. Given that Bayern were looking to make a third bid over the weekend, it looks like he will be heading there. Simon Ryder: Selfishly I'd like to see Kane stay in the Premier League. He's got to leave Spurs to win trophies. However, I can't help but think he'd become a better striker in Europe, and that benefits England. So Man Utd or Bayern Munich. It's a tough call.

Joe Lewis: Tottenham Hotspur owner charged over alleged insider trading..By Brandon Drenon, BBC News, Washington DC.ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/480/cpsprodpb/B96F/production/_130517474_gettyimages-594794362.jpgTottenham Hotspur owner Joe Lewis has been charged with "orchestrating a brazen insider trader scheme", US attorney Damian Williams has said. Mr Williams used a video announcement to accuse the British billionaire of using inside information to "shower gifts on his friends and lovers". Mr Lewis "has been indicted and will face justice" in the Southern District of New York (SDNY), Mr Williams said. BBC News has approached Tottenham Hotspur and Mr Lewis for comment. In the video statement, posted on Twitter, Mr Williams set out a series of allegations against Mr Lewis. A formal written statement, known as an indictment, has yet to be released. "We allege that, for years, Joe Lewis abused his access to corporate board rooms and repeatedly provided inside information to his romantic partners, his personal assistants, his private pilots, and his friends," Mr Williams said in the video. Mr Williams, the chief federal law enforcement officer for the SDNY, alleged that Mr Lewis's acquaintances used that information to make millions of dollars in the stock market. "Thanks to [Mr] Lewis, those bets were a sure thing," he claimed. Mr Lewis owns hundreds of assets, including Premier League London club Spurs and a stake in UK pub chain Mitchells & Butlers. Forbes magazine has recently estimated his fortune at £4.73bn ($6.1bn). ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2023/7/26/57c86c4f-195f-4618-8453-9208fbd29778.jpg

MIGHT bring a ray a hope that spurs fans will see the back if him...as surely the PL would have to challenge him under the right and proper eligibility rules that they claim to adhere to If He is found guilty of the allegations
