Tottenham Star, Dele Alli Beaten And Robbed By Masked Knife-Wielding Thieves In His London Home

Tottenham football star, Dele Alli was battered by knife-wielding robbers who stole hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of valuables at his home in north London.

The 24-year-old was held at knifepoint and punched hit in the face after two burglars broke into his home during the early hours of Wednesday morning.

It was gathered that five people were in the house during the robbery – including the 24-year-old England international who has been isolating with his brother Harry Hickford, their two partners and a long-term friend.

Following a scuffle, during which Alli suffered a minor facial injury, the two robbers took various items including jewellery and watches before fleeing.
