Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has finalised the management team he believes will propel him to global superstardom.
Sportsmail revealed in August that the England ace had begun searching for new representation after making the decision to leave long-term agent Rob Segal.
However, Alli has decided against appointing a full-time football agent, with adoptive brother Harry Hickford expected to look after the 21-year-old's day-to-day affairs.
Appointing a new football agent could be something Alli revisits at a later date. In addition, the England star has appointed the Sports PR Company to control his public relations. The London-based company has an impressive record of looking after high-profile footballers, such as David Beckham, Didier Drogba, Theo Walcott and Petr Cech.
Alli has also appointed Creative Artists Agency (CAA) to look after the commercial side of his burgeoning profile. Their client list includes Jose Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodriguez, Nico Rosberg and Harry Kane.
Alli's decision to appoint new representation was widely viewed as a means to find an escape route out of Tottenham.
However, it is understood Alli has no burning desire to leave Spurs in the immediate future. Indeed, news of his new management team will raise hopes at the north London club that Alli will sign a new contract. He still has four and a half years to run on his current £50,000-a-week deal.
Tottenham want to extend his deal, with a pay rise that would see him become one of the club's top earners. Meanwhile, the midfielder has vowed to find the answers to his dip in form this season.
He acknowledged on Tuesday that he has struggled to perform consistently well. For the first time in his career, questions are being raised over Alli's performances.
