Dele Alli and his model girlfriend enjoy romantic date at Lake Como

Former Tottenham and England star Dele Alli and his model girlfriend Cindy Kimberly headed over to the picturesque Lake Como for a romantic date earlier this week.

Alli, 28, moved to Italy in January in a bid to resurrect his career at Serie A side Como, who are managed by ex-Premier League midfielder Cesc Fabregas.

Kimberly, 26, has modelled for Vogue Spain and Harper's Bazaar, and has been to a number of Como's matches to cheer on her boyfriend's team in recent weeks.

But the couple, who went public with their relationship in June 2022, enjoyed a day off together this week and decided to spend it at Lake Como.

Kimberly documented the trip on her Instagram as she shared a number of photos of herself in a short white dress, while also donning a pair of black sunglasses, heels and a handbag.

Alli opted for a more casual look, as he rocked a pair of green trousers with a matching jumper that he wrapped around his neck along with a white T-shirt.

Alli and Kimberly went on a boat cruise together on a beautiful sunny day in northern Italy, with Kimberly captioning her Instagram post 'spring in Como', plus five smiling face emojis.

On the pitch, it has not been the ideal start for Alli at his new club. After over two years without a competitive appearance due to injuries and personal issues, Alli made his Como debut last month but was sent off after just 10 minutes for a late challenge on AC Milan's Ruben Loftus-Cheek following a VAR check.

Alli was shown a red card, despite his former team-mate Kyle Walker pleading with the referee to show mercy.

The attacking midfielder spoke out on his dismissal the following day as he wrote on Instagram: '2 years! Not necessarily how I planned it, but we keep moving.

'I was always going to announce my return in some way after these past 2 years, would rather it had been with a goal but feels good to be back.'

Alli also revealed a hilarious text exchange with Loftus-Cheek to whom he told: 'Pic looks bad tho, I just tried to clip ur heel. When the ref went to var I didn't even know it was for me.'

The former Chelsea midfielder responded: 'Bro I had no clue. I stayed down coz I was blowing.'

Fabregas had little sympathy for Alli, telling DAZN: 'Dele Alli is a player who can score goals.

'He perhaps didn't deserve this opportunity because he has only been working with us for two weeks and has a lot to improve.

'It is a grave mistake, one that we should not see from a player of his experience.

'It was a clear red card, there's nothing to be said about that, he left the team down to 10 men during a crucial moment when we were pushing for 2-2.

'That is the most negative thing about this evening, but we keep going.'

Alli is yet to play again for Como after sitting out Saturday's 1-1 draw with AC Milan while he served the first match of his suspension.

But he has been making the most of his free time by enjoying some quality time with his girlfriend as they settle into their new lives in Italy.
