TOTTENHAM want to keep Dele Alli – after snubbing Paris Saint-Germain’s second bid to sign him on loan.
The French giants offered to pay Spurs £3.5million to secure the star’s services for the rest of the season.

But the North Londoners have no intention of letting him leave – despite him falling out of favour with boss Jose Mourinho.
Dele has played just 45 minutes of Premier League football this season after being subbed at half-time of Tottenham’s 1-0 home defeat by Everton on the opening day of the season.
And he was not even on the bench for four of their seven games this term as Mourinho questioned his attitude.
The Portuguese was also shown calling him a “f***ing lazy guy” in an episode of Amazon’s fly-on-the-ball documentary series.
PSG, looking to take advantage, had an initial loan offer of £1.5m rejected by Spurs.
The second improved bid has now also been turned down.
It is believed to be a season loan only and not with a view to a permanent deal.
But Spurs expect him to stay – after he came off the bench and scored a penalty in their 7-2 win at home to Maccabi Haifa in the Europa League play-off on Thursday.

Mourinho praised Dele’s second half cameo and as well as his attitude in training.
So it seems that there won’t be any old boys’ reunion for Alli at PSG.
The French champs have been linked with a swoop for former Spurs star Christian Eriksen, who has struggled at Inter Milan.
