He'll score in a pre season game and get a new 3 year deal.

Dele Alli is expected to fly back to England as early as tomorrow, effectively ending his largely unproductive loan spell at Besiktas after he picked up an injury.
The 26-year-old still had a few games remaining on his loan with the Turkish club but he will not return home according to Sky Sports News's northwest correspondent, Alan Myers, and will face an uncertain future as he heads in the final year of his contract with Everton.
The Blues signed Dele on transfer deadline day in January last year on a complicated deal with Tottenham Hotspur that entailed the former England sensation initially moving to Goodison Park for free, with staggered payment clauses based on pre-agreed appearance milestones.
Everton are due to pay Spurs a £10m instalment once he makes 20 appearances for the club, with the final tally reported in some places as being as high as £40m if all clauses are triggered.

Everton player Dele Alli has been pictured with a balloon in his mouth while surrounded by canisters and alcohol after returning from Besiktas due to injury. The former England midfielder had fallen out of favour with Besiktas manager Senol Gunes, who admitted that Alli did not match his expectations. The photo, posted to social media site BeReal, showed Alli surrounded by several other people who also had balloons in their mouths in a Salford apartment. The group were sitting at a table littered with canisters which appear to contain nitrous oxide. Alternatively known as laughing gas, or 'hippy crack', possession of it is not illegal but Home Secretary Suella Braverman wants to introduce new laws banning it amid concerns over adverse health effects. Also visible in the picture is a £215 bottle of Clase Azule tequila, several bottles of 16.5-per-cent strength Magnum tonic wine and a tin of Siberia 'extremely strong' snus, which is a type of chewing tobacco. www.express.co.uk/sport/football

The rise and fall of Dele Alli has been a conundrum played out in plain view - but Alex Iwobi has some answers as to why things haven't worked out at Everton. After seeing his Tottenham career take a dive, Alli's six-and-a-half-year stay at Spurs came to an end in January 2022 with a move to Goodison Park. A free transfer to ignite Frank Lampard's reign, the 37-times capped England international could cost as much as £40million based on meeting certain criteria. But the Toffees haven't had to pay even a quarter of that given his lack of progress on Merseyside, joining Turkish club Besiktas on loan last summer only to return early in April. And Iwobi has some idea as to why things haven't worked out. "With him [Dele], he will say it himself, he isn’t a training player," the former Arsenal prospect told FilthyFellas: "Unless it’s a match in training and then you see Dele perform. "When it comes to training matches, he is a joke. When it comes to drills – he tries, but because he’s slow with it. When it comes to games, he will score and assist or something. It was hard for him to play. If you’re not just doing it in training, and at the time, the manager needed reliable players. He couldn’t really put his trust in him. We all know Dele could have performed." That same lack of commitment to training was raised by Jose Mourinho during the filming of Amazon's All or Nothing docuseries. 'The Special One' infamously brought Alli into his office for a candid chat about his potential being wasted if he failed to prepare properly. Recent years have proved Mourinho right, with Alli plummeting from arguably the Premier League's best prospect to top-flight outcast. The 27-year-old failed to make any impact in the Super Lig and has been dogged by concerns over his discipline (or lack thereof). Iwobi, who is one month younger than Alli, has been almost omipresent for the Toffees this season and a crucial figure for their survival hopes. Sean Dyche's side host Bournemouth on Sunday in a do-or-die fixture for their top-flight hopes, but Alli won't play any part in the clash. With 12 months left on his Goodison contract, Alli faces an uncertain summer in regards to his next move and where his short or long-term prospects lie. Everton may struggle to find a buyer for their once-hallowed star regardless of their survival outcome, and Iwobi's comments won't help to improve that stock. www.dailystar.co.uk/s

Everton midfielder Dele Alli holds talks with Sean Dyche about his future Alli’s time at Besiktas was nothing short of a nightmare. Besiktas manager Senol Gunes blasted Alli in the media to an extent saying that the Englishman doesn’t deserve to play. In fact, he was banished from the first team and told that he would no longer be counted upon during the games. Besiktas even evaluated the option of sending the 27 year old back to EFC in January.
To make matters worse, Alli suffered a hip muscle injury in April and returned back to Everton after ending his season prematurely. Alli’s future at Everton looked grim, especially under Sean Dyche who demands intense physicality and training from his players.
From an economic sense, if Alli made 20 appearances for the Toffees, they would be liable to pay £10 million to Spurs as part of the deal. The former MK Dons midfielder has made 13 appearances for the Merseysiders and is seven outings away from reaching the milestone of 20 games.
