Delly Alli (30) apologized to his former club, Tottenham's fans, by wearing an Arsenal jersey as a game penalty and then setting it on fire.

The British media outlet "The Sun" reported on the 10th (Korean time), "After losing a bet with a famous streamer, Alli wore an Arsenal jersey and subsequently released a video of himself burning the shirt to apologize to Tottenham fans."

Alli competed against the famous streamer "IShowSpeed" in the football game "EA FC 27," suffering consecutive defeats with scores of 2-7 and 2-4. As a penalty for losing the bet, he wore an Arsenal jersey and posted a verification photo on his Instagram story. Alli, who had been active at Tottenham for seven years, wrote, "I am sorry to Tottenham fans. But a bet is a bet," accompanied by a broken heart emoticon.

The method of apology was radical. Alli immediately appeared on his Twitch stream wearing white work clothes and burned the jersey in question. He then additionally posted a photo showing the shredded jersey placed next to a fire extinguisher, stating, "Speed, a bet is a bet, but this is the aftermath."

Speed, who defeated Alli, has previously engaged in game matches with global football stars such as Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (PSG), and Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool).

Alli is also familiar to domestic fans as a close friend of Son Heung-min, currently playing for LA FC, with whom he coordinated at Tottenham for seven seasons. When Alli confessed his shocking past in 2023, including childhood abuse, drug errands, and sleeping pill addiction, Son Heung-min expressed firm affection and support via social media (SNS), saying, "Your brave words will help many people. I am proud of you, friend."

Meanwhile, Alli is currently without a club. He joined Italian side Como, managed by Xabi Alonso in 2025, but was released after appearing in only one match.

Alli has played 37 matches for the England national team as an international player. Last month, he trained with amateur team Windsor & Eton, showing his will to extend his career. He recently also rejected a transfer offer from Salford City, a fourth-division club owned by Gary Neville.

The media outlet reported, "Although it has been more than a year since Alli last played in an official match, he is still waiting for offers from top-league clubs."
