Dele Alli ‘to take on Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy over wage structure sparking £100m transfer frenzy’

Superagents Mino Raiola and Jorge Mendes are said to be locked in a battle to represent the England star

DELE ALLI could be on collision course with Daniel Levy over Tottenham's wage structure, according to reports.

Superagents Mino Raiola and Jorge Mendes are said to be locked in a battle to represent the England star.

And the Mirror suggest that means Alli will test Spurs over the club's pay when he negotiates his next deal - which could spark a £100million-plus transfer scramble.

Alli had been with Rob Segal and Impact Sports Management since he was a 15-year-old.

But the midfielder split from his aide last month.

Harry Hickford, Alli’s house-mate who moved in with his family aged 13, will also have a role in managing the footballer’s career as the likes of Mendes and Raiola prepare to swoop.

Hickford will likely be given a formal contract by whichever agency eventually signs the midfield star.

And once Alli has sorted out his representatives, fresh contract talks are expected.

It is almost a year since Alli signed his second Spurs contract of 2016.

The six-year deal keeps the former MK Dons ace in North London until 2022 on £55,000 a week.

It came just nine months after he signed a new deal in January to take his money from £12,000 to £22,000-a-week.

Alli, 20, initially signed a five-and-a-half-year contract when he joined from Dons for an initial £5m in February 2015.

But he could move for over 20 TIMES that if the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid or Manchester City firm up their interest.

Danny Rose exclusively told SunSport how he and other players believed they were "worth more" than they were being paid.

And it remains to be seen whether Spurs and Levy will pay Alli the kind of cash he could bank at those clubs - where he could expect to QUADRUPLE his 55k weekly pay packet.

Levy banked £86m from the sale of Gareth Bale to Real and may want twice that sum for any club wanting to land Alli.

Spurs blew away their Wembley curse last night to grab a 3-1 win over Dortmund as they opened their Champions League campaign.
