- Dele ends Como stint after just one appearance
- Former Spurs star now available on a free transfer
- Midfielder continues search to revive fading career
Dele has officially left Como after terminating his contract just nine months into his spell in Italy. The former Tottenham and England international endured another major setback as he managed just one appearance, where he was sent off against AC Milan. Now a free agent, the 29-year-old will once again search for a new club to revive his career.
Dele’s exit continues a difficult chapter in his career after struggling at Everton and on loan at Besiktas. His move to Como was meant to offer a fresh start, but the midfielder could not establish himself. Once tipped as one of England’s brightest talents, he is again without a club at just 29.
Dele rose to prominence at Tottenham, where he scored 67 goals across seven years before joining Everton in 2022. His time at Goodison Park yielded just 13 league appearances, with a loan spell at Besiktas also failing to reignite his career. The former MK Dons man has 37 England caps but last represented his country in 2019.
The England star is now free to join another club outside of the transfer window. Interest in the midfielder may depend on whether clubs see him as a worthwhile gamble after years of inconsistency. At 29, he faces a crucial decision on his future but he has clarified that retirement is not an option.
