Ali, once a top talent representing England and Tottenham, showed tremendous skill as soon as he joined Tottenham, becoming a mainstay. Together with Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen, he built a 'DESK' line to lead Tottenham's heyday in the 2010s. Son's chemistry with Son also drew attention. Ali, who scored a huge offensive point with 18 goals and nine assists in 37 league games in the 2016-2017 season, was evaluated to be responsible for the future of the English national team.
Ali's heyday didn't last long. From the 2019-2020 season, the notification showed a downward trend. He, who was also struggling under Jose Mourinho, has become a headache for the team. He transferred to Everton in the 2021-2022 season, but after the transfer, he was criticized for enjoying things that fans could not welcome, such as alcohol, clubs and cigarettes. After a long wanderlust, Ali tried to regain his original intention. Through interviews, he confessed his past wounds and vowed to change. His team Everton have also accelerated their return, expressing their willingness to support Ali.
However, the road to return was long and tough. I tried to get back on the ground last season, but I couldn't improve my physical condition. After the end of the season, Everton supported Ali with a lot of things, including providing him with training facilities, even though his contract expired. Although he showed his focus on training, he was expected to fans, but Ali could not be seen on the ground even though the 2024-2025 season began.

In December last year, he left Everton and decided to go to Como. He was coached by Fabregas, a former English Premier League (EPL) legend midfielder, in Como and prepared for his return. However, the return match was disastrous. Ali, who was deployed at the end of the second half of the 29th round of Serie A in the 2024-2025 season and was on the real stage for the first time since May 2023, was directly sent off for a rough foul in 1 minute of extra time, only damaging the team. Since then, Ali has not played a single game. In the end, Como left Ali out of the squad.
Are you paying for Ali at Como?He seems to be thinking about retiring. If Ali leaves the soccer world, there are many fans who will be disappointed. Meanwhile, in addition to Ali, Son Heung-min has recently announced himself that he will leave Tottenham, drawing great attention. Fans who remember Tottenham's heyday are left with disappointing news.
