Former Tottenham star Dele Alli is set for a mammoth £8.3million payday as he plans to close down his image rights company, Dele Alli Promotions.
The now 30-year-old may be without a club but was not so foolish as to not prepare for life without a bumper contract, with his company boasting the sizeable sum in assets.
However, Alli will have to hand over £685,362 to the tax man – but this is a drop in the ocean in relation to the eyewatering £7.6million he is set to receive.
The former England international has been without a club for over 19 months, having last been in action for Cesc Fabregas‘ Como side in Serie A but only played one game, coming on as an 81st minute sub against AC Milan and receiving a red card just nine minutes later.
But Alli has several projects alongside Dele Alli Promotions keeping him busy while he is attempting to get back to full fitness and find a new club.
He owns and manages a private residential real estate holding company named Future Homes Investments, which owns and rents six properties worth more than £1.5million.

And his smallest company, Dele Investments still holds £336,267 in assets.
Most recently the former English international has branched out into livestreaming on Twitch with a skateboard, an array of expensive designer bags, and at least 48 pairs of shoes providing his backdrop.
He has already picked up traction on his channel by calling up old teammates such as Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Jack Grealish while live.
And while playing EAFC 27 with other steamers such as IShowSpeed, who recently forced Alli to wear an Arsenal shirt on Instagram after losing a wager to the 21-year-old American.
It is a far cry from his heady days as a player, when Dele twice picked up the PFA Young Player of the Year award and starred for England on their way to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.
During an interview in 2023 on The Overlap, he opened up about his harrowing past, having to smoke and sell drugs as young as seven years old and being hung over a bridge by a man from neighbouring estate when he was just 11.
This resulted in the midfielder turning to sleeping pills and alcohol to suppress his feelings and help him through his trauma.
