Tottenham HotspurDele is the latest player to reach the 250 appearance milestone for the Club.
The attacking midfielder hit the mark when he started against Villa on Wednesday night. He joins Hugo Lloris (372), Harry Kane (335), Eric Dier, Heung-Min Son (both 279) and Erik Lamela (259) as players in the current squad to have made 250-plus appearances for us in all competitions.
Twice voted PFA Young Player of the Year, Dele joined us from MK Dons in 2015 and became a first team regular immediately, his performances earning England recognition within two months of his first full season at the Club. He's since earned 37 caps and scored at the 2018 World Cup.
Sixty nine players have now played over 250 games for us in all competitions since we joined the Football League in 1908. As well as the six current players to play 250-plus, Toby Alderweireld, Gareth Bale, Ben Davies, Danny Rose and Moussa Sissoko have all played over 200 games for us.
