Karl Robinson confirms Newcastle United's Dele Alli interest

MK Dons manager Karl Robinson has admitted that Newcastle United are one of the clubs that have expressed an interest in signing young midfielder Dele Alli.

A number of Premier League and Championship sides, including Liverpool and the Magpies, have been linked with making bids for the 18-year-old this month.

Robinson has now confirmed Newcastle's interest, but he is determined to ensure that Alli will remain on loan at the Stadium MK until the end of the season.

"I can't see him not wearing our shirt for the rest of the season. Part of the deal [with Newcastle] would be him staying with us for the rest of the season and joining whoever it is in the summer," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.

Alli has scored 12 goals for the Dons so far this term.
