Tunisia coach Nabil Maaloul believes Dele Alli will be England’s biggest threat when they meet in the World Cup on Monday.

The Tottenham playmaker was singled out as the danger man by Maaloul as they prepare to face England in Volgograd.

Maaloul, in his second spell in charge of the national side, feels his team can progress to the knockout stages of the tournament, but only if they can shackle Ali.

"He is a great player," added Maaloul. "He is a midfielder who can play anywhere: centre, forward or deep midfield, up front on his own or wide on the left.

"We know how easily Alli and Kane can find each other and their understanding so must divide them.

"The most dangerous thing for me is the way he sees the match and plays the last pass."
