Dele Alli’s heartache explained by Eric Dier after admitting struggles, calling the star ‘annoying’.
Eric Dier recently opened up about his regrets regarding his friend, Dele Alli. The two players developed a friendship while at Tottenham Hotspur and have stayed in touch since moving to different clubs.
Alli’s revelation about his mental health struggles, including his challenging childhood, in an interview with Gary Neville last summer stirred positive mental health discussions in the sports world. Dier expressed regret that he was unaware of the full extent of Alli’s difficulties and wished he had done more to support him.
He also acknowledged that Alli had been a great friend to him, especially during his wedding. Dier spoke about feeling guilty for not being more aware of the challenges faced by Alli and reflected on times when he may have been too pushy, causing Alli to hide things from him.
Alli, currently on loan at Everton from Tottenham, is hoping to return to Premier League action, but his loan deal may present obstacles for his permanent transfer to the club.
