Dele Alli revealed just how close he came to joining Liverpool from MK Dons during the start of his career.

After graduating from the Dons' academy, Alli burst onto the scene in his first full season in senior football, netting seven goals in all competitions during the 2013-14 season at just 17-years-old.

Alli's performances in League One had caught the eye of several top flight clubs including Liverpool, the team he had supported growing up.

With Luis Suarez in incredible form, Brendan Rodgers' Reds were embarking on a title challenge that would ultimately see them miss out on winning the Premier League by just two points.
