Tottenham's Alli shows team-mates Dier & Dembele how to do new hand trick

Dele Alli has shown his Tottenham team-mates Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele how to do his new hand trick.

The Spurs midfielder raised the stakes in viral hand celebrations after introducing a new gesture that involves covering both eyes with looped fingers earlier this week.

Alli revealed a picture of himself performing the tricky hand sign on Wednesday while team-mate Georges-Kevin N'Koudou failed at attempting the trick in the background.

Tottenham posted a video on their official Twitter page on Friday of the trio completing the skill.

Alli originally got heads scratching two weeks ago when he performed the viral hand celebration after scoring against Newcastle at St James' Park.

Paul Pogba, Mauricio Pochettino and Neymar have all performed the trick after it was popularised by the England international along with stars from other sports like the NFL and NBA.

Alli has been widely associated with the new craze but Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has since refuted claims by insisting that he was the one who got the craze going.

Lingard took to Instagram last Friday to show evidence that it had all started back in June.

England team-mates Alli and Lingard will line up against each other in the Premier League on Monday night when Tottenham visit Manchester United.
