Tottenham's Dele Alli worth more than Paul Pogba - Harry Redknapp

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp insists that midfielder Dele Alli is now worth more than the world-record fee of £89.3 million that Manchester United paid Juventus for Paul Pogba.

Alli, 20, has scored 14 goals for club and country this season -- five more than Pogba -- and has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and United after an incredible rise over the past year.

But Redknapp believes it would take a new world record to sign him.

"I think now he's worth £100m," he told the Daily Telegraph. "If Pogba's £90m, he's more. He's 20 years of age! The kid's got everything -- he scores goals, makes goals, can head it, run, dribble, got an edge to him, puts his foot in. I think he's fantastic."

Redknapp also criticised United for missing out on Alli before the youngster moved to Tottenham for just £5m from MK Dons in 2015.

"Didn't he play against Manchester United when they beat them that day [a 4-0 win for MK Dons over United in the second round of the League Cup]?" he added. "You wonder how they didn't take the kid from MK Dons for £5m.

"How did they not see him? It's incredible that no-one took him. £5m! What a signing, what a player."
