Tottenham and England midfielder Dele Alli says he is determined to come back stronger and fitter after enduring the "most difficult" season of his career. Alli, who made just two Premier League starts prior to Mason's appointment in April, was keen to leave the club in January, with a reunion with Mauricio Pochettino at Paris Saint-Germain on the cards, but Spurs blocked it. "It goes without saying this season has been the most difficult in my career so far," Alli posted on Instagram. "This season has taught me I can't take anything for granted and I'm more determined than ever to come back fitter and stronger." "First of all, we wanted to be in the Champions League," said Mason, who will be returning to his role in the academy.
