Dele Alli has signed for the same agency that represents Cristiano Ronaldo, Jose Mourinho and Tottenham team-mate Harry Kane.

The 21-year-old has joined CAA Sports, whose clients also include Carlo Ancelotti, James Rodriguez and Nico Rosberg.

CAA will represent Alli for future commercial and sponsorship deals, but the Tottenham midfielder remains under contract with current agent, Rob Segal, who represents him as a professional footballer.

However, the move comes after Sky Sports News broke the story that Gestifute, Jorge Mendes' agency, were the frontrunner to sign Alli when his contract with Segal and his company Impact Sports runs out next year.

CAA Sports and Gestifute, a sports management company, formed a global partnership to represent a number of high-profile players and coaches.

"I'm delighted to join CAA at this important time in my career," the England midfielder said in a statement released by CAA Sports.
