  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Dele confirmed he would be leaving Everton earlier this month, before linking up with Cesc Fabregas' Como. Reports in Italy state the 28-year-old is on a trial period with the Italian side and now Sky Italia says the ex-England international is training on his own but will then join the first-team squad when he has reached a 'satisfactory condition'.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Former Tottenham star Dele is trying to get his career back on track after difficult spells at Everton and Besiktas. He last played competitively in February 2023, with a string of injuries keeping him on the sidelines since then. Dele is targeting a spot at the 2026 World Cup so he will need to get back to his best to achieve that lofty goal.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Fabregas spoke on the links with Dele but played down claims he would be signed.

  "I don't want to talk too much about this but perhaps there is a chance Dele will start training with us after Christmas. It would be to help him get in shape and nothing more," he said.
