    Dele Alli, but separately.

    Started as Alli, but signed a whopping big contract and wanted to be known as Dele (because of a fall out with his Dad).

    Debatable whether we can call him a footballer now, sadly.

    What ever happened to him, is he still playing?

    He's just spent the season on loan @ Besiktas, doesnt sound like it was very successful either.

    So he'll spend pre-season with Everton, and go from there

    One of those horrible pop up ads told me that he is apparently about to become the first billionaire footballer. I clicked on the link (why???) which led me to a list of rich footballers and how much they are worth, each name being surrounded by hundreds of ads, and after about ten minutes of scrolling through them I gave up, before any mention of Alli appeared. Horrendous experience. Never again etc.

    Can you think of a famous male Brazilian footballer who’s known by either first or last name rather than a nickname?

    As said, spent the season in Turkey, where he spent his time being left out of the team and being caught doing laughing gas and partying. Pretty sad how he’s wasted all that talent.

    Allisson
    Neymar
    Casemiro
    Joelinton
    Ederson
    Richarlison
    Rodrygo
    Vinicius
    Antony

    Nicknames are a thing of the past for a lot of Brazilian footballers these days.

    Was having this coversation with my eldest the other day...Solly March as previous posters have mentioned! I then found out that the arsenal fullback tomiyasu (spelling?) is actually his surname! I truly thought it was a similar situation to March and he was called Tommy Yasu. Idiot.

    Idrissa Gueye. It's like they're not comfortable saying Gueye because it sounds like gay. For some time I thought his name was Idris Agay because I'd never heard his surname on it's own. The whole thing is ironic because Idrissa Gueye apparently doesn't like gay people.
