Dele Alli has taken the Premier League by storm this season.
The Spurs youngster, who arrived at White Hart Lane from MK Dons at the start of the season, has become almost undropable for both club and country.
But it could have all been so different for the Tottenham starlet.
he England midfielder could have joined Chelsea before agreeing a switch to north London.
Blues coach Eddie Newton regularly scouted the 20-year-old when he was at MK Dons.
But the south west London club rejected the chance to sign Alli… because they rated Ruben Loftus-Cheek as a better long-term bet.
The England Under-21 star was handed a £60,000-a-week deal in February and the club have high hopes for the midfielder.
According to The Times, Newcastle have the most to regret though.
The Magpies had a £4million agreement with MK Dons for the player in January 2015, but the north east side postponded the deal under the end of the season, allowing Spurs to steal a march on their rivals.
