There is a hunger about the attacking midfielder after a stuttering, stop-start season on a personal level.

Dele Alli feels refreshed, renewed and ready to kick on from Tottenham's Champions League heartache and an injury-hit season that took a mental as well as physical toll.

The 2018-19 campaign will live long in the memory for all connected with Spurs after their historic run to a first-ever European Cup final, even though the 2-0 loss to Liverpool naturally still sticks in the craw.

Seven weeks on and Alli is still hurting after falling at the last hurdle, but there is a hunger about the attacking midfielder after a stuttering, stop-start season on a personal level.

Alli was speaking at an event with sponsors AIA in sweltering Shanghai, where Tottenham's pre-season preparations continue against Manchester United in the International Champions Cup on Friday.

"We had our first session today – it was tough obviously with the heat," he said on a day when the humidity in China meant it felt as high as 48 degrees Celsius.

"But we adapt to different things and it's all part of pre-season, getting back fit and making sure we start the season as strong as we can.

"It is very hot but it's a beautiful place and we're happy to be here."
