West Ham United star messages Dele Alli on social media after latest post
West Ham United defender Kyle Walker-Peters has sent a message to former Tottenham star Dele Alli.
Alli was linked with a move to West Ham back in April 2024, but the switch never materialised, with the Englishman eventually joining Italian outfit Como midway through the 2024-25 campaign.
However, the 29-year-old made just one appearance for Cesc Fabregas’ side and was sent off just nine minutes into his debut, before departing the club last summer.
Alli remains a free agent five months after his Como exit, and there has still been no word on whether he will continue his playing career.

Kyle Walker-Peters sends message of support to Dele Alli
Walker-Peters joined West Ham from Southampton last summer as he looked for a route to continue playing in the Premier League.
The 28-year-old had spent five-and-a-half years with the Saints, following his Tottenham departure in January 2020.
Walker-Peters came through the Spurs academy, breaking into the senior team around the time that Alli was at his peak.
The West Ham full-back only ever made 12 Premier League appearances for the Lilywhites, but clearly struck up a good relationship with Alli.
The midfielder was back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, presented to the crowd during Spurs’ 4-1 defeat to Arsenal.
Following his appearance on the pitch, Alli posted a series of photos to Instagram, with the caption: “Week complete.”
Walker-Peters commented: “Brother for life,” to show support for his former teammate.

Kyle Walker-Peters surely set for West Ham exit
Walker-Peters was signed by Graham Potter last summer, but has slowly dropped down the pecking order since the arrival of Nuno Espirito Santo.
The Englishman penned a three-year deal at the start of the season but was linked with a move away in January, and his Hammers career already looks to be in real doubt.
He has not started any of West Ham’s last six Premier League games, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and El Hadji Malick Diouf preferred at full-back.
If Walker-Peters continues to be left on the bench for the rest of the season, he may have to seek a move away in the summer transfer window in order to find more playing time.
