Tottenham Hotspur star Dele Alli admits that he would rather retire than play for North London rivals Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur star Dele Alli has admitted that he would rather retire than play for the club's arch rivals Arsenal.

The 20-year-old has become a fan favourite at White Hart Lane following his £5m move from MK Dons last year.

The midfielder has scored eight goals and made 11 assists in his 44 appearances for Spurs, and he has made it clear where his North London allegiance lies.

When asked by Copa90 if he would opt for retirement over a stint with Arsenal, Alli replied: "I'm hanging my boots up."

Tottenham are currently second in the Premier League table, seven points behind leaders Leicester City with five games left to play.
