Manchester United Midfielder, Paul Pogba says Tottenham Hotspur's hottest asset Dele Alli is worth more than £100m in the transfer market amidst interest from United. Pogba who became the most expensive footballer in the world when he moved to Old Trafford from Juventus for £89.3m in 2016 explained that the 21-year-old Alli is worth more than that.

Speaking with London Evening Standard after joining Alli at an Adidas event this week, Pogba said;


"I think he is worth even more than £100m because you see how he plays -- he is very talented but still very young. But he is mature as well -- you can see that in his football. He can deal with the talk. You can see he doesn't care. He should, and will, focus on his football, and the rest, they will always speak. Always focus on the field."


Pogba who admitted to playing under intense pressure last season due to his big-money transfer said his situation has been overtaken by Neymar's deal, leaving him to concentrate on his game.


"The player with the biggest price tag is more expensive now, so people don't think about me, they don't care about me. It is good. Me, I just care about football. I don't think about the transfer because it is not me. That was between the clubs. The Neymar deal is special for me because it means journalists are not looking at the price any more.


They are more looking at my performance on the pitch. That's what matters. This season, there is less pressure for me and I can focus even more on my football."
