Dele Alli Risks Angering Spurs Fans After Wearing Arsenal Shirt on Livestream

Former England midfielder Dele Alli has risked upsetting Tottenham supporters after wearing an Arsenal shirt on a Twitch livestream.

The 30-year-old, who has been a free agent since leaving Como in September 2025, joined American influencer iShowSpeed on stream after being challenged to a game of EAFC 27. Dele has been streaming regularly with fans while he looks for a new club.

Dele, who played as Saudi Arabian side Al-Qadsiah, lost 4-2 to iShowSpeed’s Al-Nassr. He reacted angrily to missing a late chance and smashed his controller. With the influencer egging him on, he left his chair and threw it against the floor repeatedly.

“I ain’t gonna lie, throw the controller, break it,” iShowSpeed said as Dele missed an open goal.

The punishment for losing the bet was to wear an Arsenal shirt live on stream. A friend had delivered the shirt to his home, and Dele reluctantly put it on. He buried his head in his hands in discomfort as viewers got their first glimpse of him in Arsenal colours.

The moment will sting Spurs fans even more because Dele said in 2016 that he would rather retire than play for Arsenal. Gunners supporters were greatly amused as clips and images went viral on social media.

“Dele Alli looks good in an Arsenal kit, he must be feeling victorious,” one fan posted on X, adding a string of laughing emojis.

Dele later posted a selfie on Instagram. “Sorry Spurs fans but a bet is a bet. Congrats iShowSpeed,” he wrote.

Dele was once seen as one of English football’s greatest talents. He burst onto the scene under Mauricio Pochettino and made almost 200 appearances for Tottenham, before leaving the club in 2022. His career has been in freefall since then.

He now often phones former team-mates for a chat in front of his audience on stream, and has held brief conversations with Jack Grealish and Tottenham legend Harry Kane.
