The 26-year-old joined the Turkish side in an attempt to resurrect his career after a disappointing couple of years in the Premier League. However, it is safe to say Alli hasn't had the greatest start to life at Besiktas, already struggling for form having scored just once in seven appearances so far. Alli's only goal came in his second game for the club and he is currently enduring a drought in front of goal. The former Tottenham midfielder could be buoyed by a change of management at the club, though, after Gunes replaced outgoing boss Valerian Ismael last month. But Gunes has outlined his views on Alli and his latest reality check for the player, who is fighting to reignite his career in Turkey. Ahead of Besiktas' mammoth clash at Galatasaray this weekend, Gunes said: "I couldn't affect the players [yet], now I can easily touch them, but we haven't touched Dele Alli yet. Let's not discuss Dele Alli as a player, but he is below expectations in terms of efficiency." Alli's Tottenham Hotspur career came to an end in January, joining the Toffees in a deal potentially worth up to £40million. But he failed to impress Everton boss Frank Lampard at the back end of last season, prompting him to be offloaded to Besiktas in the summer. Besiktas currently sit fourth in the Super Liga but are only one point behind Istanbul Basaksehir in the final European spot and trail leaders Fenerbache by four points, having played an extra game. Former manager Valerian Ismael leapt to Alli's defence last month in response to criticism from some quarters, despite his side's impressive form.
