Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has praised Dele Alli after their 3-2 win over West Ham United at the London Stadium on November 23, 2019.
Dele Alli provided a superb assist which led to Spurs' opening goal through Son Heung-min in the 36th minute of the encounter.
Lucas Moura and Harry Kane also scored a goal each to ensure the Portuguese tactician claim his first win in charge of the team.
Mourinho said: "I'm happy with him, I spent a few minutes with him in training and outside the pitch. And we were saying that the best Dele Alli has to be back."
He added: "He's too good to not be one of the best players in the world and not playing with the national team. He is too good to not be a fundamental player for Spurs."
The Portuguese took over at the club earlier this week after the sack of former handler Mauricio Pochettino.
