Dele Alli will start training with Como later this month after previously training with Everton, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The journalist reported via X on 16 December that the 28-year-old was in attendance as the Serie A side beat Roma 2-0 on Sunday (15 December).
The former England international is now scheduled to start training under Cesc Fabregas on 26 December, although a place in the squad is not guaranteed and will depend on performances.

It has been a tough period for the attacking midfielder in recent years, failing to play a single game since the 2022/23 campaign at Besiktas.
Alli opened up his mental health struggles in an interview in July 2023, which have ultimately had a negative effect on his career.

The Toffees handed the ex-Tottenham man the chance to rebuild and train on Merseyside as he looks to build towards playing football again.
His contract at Goodison Park expired in the summer but he continued to train with a view to earning a new deal with Sean Dyche’s side.
It is a strange move to miss out on Alli given how long they have waited by his side for his return to first-team action.

It doesn’t appear that a new deal was on the table given that the former MK Dons starlet looks set to join up with the recently promoted Italian side.
This will represent an exciting prospect for the Englishman to potentially line up alongside the likes of Pepe Reina, Sergi Roberto and Andrea Belotti.
