Former midfielder of Barcelona Xavi believes that his ex-mentor and friend Josep Guardiola, now head of Manchester City, is interested in acquiring the midfielder Tottenham Hotspur Delle Alli.

In the opinion of the 37-year-old Spaniard, Allie will ideally fit into the game system of Guardiola, while Dele's important advantage is his nationality.

"I spoke with Pep, and he believes that it is very important to sign the English players," - began Xavi.

"At the moment, the best English player, and one of the best in Europe - is Dela Alli. We are watching the game of a special football player ".

"He is the type of performer that suits Pepa's favorite game system. Tottenham, of course, will not want to let Dele, but we all know how great the resources of Manchester City ".

"I'm sure that in the summer Guardiola will look for players across Europe, but he will certainly pay attention to players from the Premier League," - said the Spaniard.

This season on the account of Alli 16 goals and 7 assists in the 31st Premier League match.
