Dele Alli blames himself and not Mourinho for decline
The 25-year-old, who joined Spurs back in 2015, was rarely involved in key matches prior to Mourinho being sacked in April and was linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain that would have reunited him with Mauricio Pochettino.
Alli played five times for England at World Cup 2018 but his lack of match action and reduced production meant he was not a candidate for Euro 2020 selection.
Mourinho was often questioned for his decision to rarely use Alli even as Spurs struggled to a seventh-place finish.
But the player insists he does not blame his former boss, who has clashed with multiple players, for his fall from prominence over recent years.
“The only person I blame is myself,” Alli said to Goal.
“I should be performing at a level where it is difficult to not put me in the team or not play me.
