CAA Sports has signed Tottenham and England national team midfielder Dele Alli for commercial representation.
Dele, who made his Tottenham debut in 2015, was recently named the Professional Footballers’ Association Young Player of the Year. With its access to unparalleled resources and connectivity across sport, entertainment, and pop culture, CAA Sports, a division of leading entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA), will work closely with Dele’s manager Harry Hickford to amplify and enhance Dele’s commercial portfolio globally.
‘I’m delighted to join CAA at this important time in my career,” said Dele. “I’m excited for the future working alongside them. It was clear from the start that this is a company that can help me maximise my potential off the field.”
Dele is the latest international superstar to sign with CAA Sports, joining four-time FIFA World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodriguez, Harry Kane, Renato Sanches, José Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, and Nico Rosberg, in addition to Formula 1 Racing, the Six Nations Rugby Championship, FC Barcelona, and Red Bull Racing for property sales and sponsorship opportunities, among others.
“Dele is one of the most exciting players in the world presently, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with him at this pivotal moment in his career, helping to accomplish his personal and professional goals,” said Matthew O’Donohoe of CAA Sports.
