Ex-Fiorentina defender Celeste Pin is impressed with the physical side of the game that Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli displayed last night at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
The 19-year-old midfielder was again instrumental as his side recorded a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Europa League round of 32 tie against Fiorentina last night.
The former MK Dons man is enjoying a fine first season at Tottenham, and has been one of the key reasons behind their rise this term as credible title challengers in the Premier League.
He caught the eye of former Fiorentina defender Pin, who was impressed with the midfielder’s performance, and was particularly happy to see Alli show a physical side to his game.
The former Fiorentina defender told Italian outlet Tutto Mercato: “Dele Alli is a nice player.

“[He] made a really good impression, even with the physical side of his game.
"But Tottenham on the whole are a very good team.”
With an away goal in the bag, Tottenham will be hoping to clinch a Europa League last 16 berth next week at White Hart Lane when Fiorentina visit London for the return leg.
