Paris Saint-Germain want Dele Alli for longer than short-term loan?

Paris Saint-Germain reportedly have plans to make a bid to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli on a permanent basis.

The French giants, now managed by former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, are looking to secure a loan deal for the playmaker before Monday's transfer deadline.

With Alli still possessing three-and-a-half years on his contract, Spurs are reluctant to give PSG the option to buy the England international in the summer.

However, according to Eurosport, PSG officials hope that Alli will be tempted into remaining at Parc des Princes after a successful loan stay.

Spurs will only allow the 24-year-old to move to Paris if they are able to bring in a replacement over the next three days, something which Jose Mourinho has hinted is unlikely.

Alli has made just two appearances since the middle of December, both of which came in cup competitions.
