"?Tottenham Hotspur's Dele Alli is set to sign a new lucrative sponsorship deal with Adidas - and eclipse his Spurs wage packet in the process, according to media reports.
The 20-year-old has emerged as one of the brightest young talents in England after a magnificent first season in the Barclays Premier League.
The midfielder helped Mauricio Pochettino's charges mount a title challenge in England's top tier during the 2015/16 campaign, only for Leicester City to pip them to the crown in the final few weeks of the season.
Alli only signed a new five-year contract with Spurs in January - a deal that saw him increase his wages to £25,000 per week - and will presumably be offered fresh terms once more in the summer after a sterling 12 month period.
The Daily Mail, via the "?Metro, however, writes that Adidas look to set to offer Alli an £8m deal across a five year spell.
The 2015/16 Young PFA Player of the Year already represents Adidas' brand of football boots but, such has been his rise over the past 12 months, the sportswear giant is already looking to hand Alli an upgrade to his existing contract.
Adidas hope to use Alli's rising stock to help increase their marketing activities across the globe, particularly ahead of the upcoming Euro 2016 Championships in France.
Former MK Dons footballer Alli will no doubt be part of England manager Roy Hodgson's 23-man party for the international tournament, and is likely to start in the Three Lion's opening match against in Group B against Russia in over two weeks' time.
Alli joined Tottenham in Febuary 2015 for a fee thought to be around £5m, and notched 10 goals and 11 assists in 46 appearances in his maiden campaign for the Londoners last season.
