ENGLAND star Dele Alli ranted at staff at a five-star hotel for refusing to upgrade him to a £3,000-a-night penthouse suite. The £100,000-a-week Spurs midfielder appeared in mobile phone footage arguing in the foyer of The May Fair. Alli, 22, is seen gesturing and raising his voice as he leans on the reception desk alongside England teammate Ross Barkley, 24. The video is said to have been taken at 5am on Monday, the day after England’s 2-1 Nations League win against Croatia at Wembley. On the clip, Alli is heard saying: “Fourteen grand. Think I’ll put up with any of this sh*t? What are you going to do for me? I’m just . . . but I’ve got a room here tonight.” Barkley, a £90,000-a-week Chelsea midfielder, stands calmly next to Alli but is not heard speaking. The 36-second video ends when a concierge intervenes. It is said to have been filmed by another hotel guest, who is heard saying: “Ross Barkley and Dele Alli. Absolutely embarrassing. Embarrassment. These are England players, look at them, look, absolute disgrace, 5 o’clock in the morning at the Raddison May Fair. “These are England players, look, these are role models.” Last night the clip was being shared online and on WhatsApp.
