Kane: Everton midfielder Dele Alli has time to revive career

England captain Harry Kane insists Everton midfielder Dele Alli can still rescue his career.

The pair played together at Tottenham, with Alli this summer admitting he was abused as a child and has spent time in rehab for an addiction to sleeping pills.

Bayern Munich striker Kane said: "I think it was extremely brave of Dele to come out and give the interview the gave, we have known each other for a period of time but I didn't know the extent of what he had been through in his life for surey.

"It was eye-opening for me to hear that.

"I texted him after and said how much I think what he did will help a lot of other people share their feelings as well.

"I caught up with Dele in the summer, before the interview, and he seems to be on a good track, been working hard to get fit and so I can't wait to hopefully see him back out and playing football again.

"I think he is in a better place now and he has a lot of time left in his career and I really hope he can get back on track and play week in and week out."
