Dele Alli's girlfriend pokes fun at Tottenham star's gaming session

Tottenham return to action on Wednesday night when they face Watford in the Carabao Cup, but Dele Alli has been busy gearing up in a different way.

The England star was snapped by his girlfriend, Ruby Mae, playing video games on Tuesday night ahead of the 'home' tie to be played at Stadium MK.

And the lingerie model poked fun at her beau's gaming obsession, plastering the geek emoji all over a picture shared in an Instagram story.

Alli was the picture of concentration as he showed off his gear, complete with a headset, microphone and a proper gaming chair.

In April the 22-year-old displayed his skills for all to see when he streamed himself playing the popular online game Fortnite to over 35,000 people.

Alli even spurned watching Bayern Munich's Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid that night in order to play his favourite game.

Last month Alli was back on Twitch, playing a beta version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, due for release next month.

Alli regularly references Fortnite in his goal celebrations, including after he scored England's second goal against Sweden in this year's World Cup quarter-final.

The Spurs midfielder has been dating Mae since 2016, a lingerie model who has posed for Dolce & Gabbana and Rare London.

She is signed to Boss Model Management in Manchester, and has worked for several other well-known brands including Chanel, Hidden Fashion and The Couture Club.
