Alli spurred on by Tottenham's trophy chase

Losing Son

But after the visit of a revitalized Manchester United next Sunday, Spurs will face that schedule without Son, who terrorized Tranmere's defense by scoring one goal and setting up two more in a nine-minute second-half spell

"Sonny leaving any team would be a great miss because he's a great player but, at the same time, we've got players that have been working hard and are ready to come in," said Alli.

"He's obviously in great form and it will be sad to see him go but he will be back and we just keep going."

Alli added: "He's an unbelievable player, with both feet, and has an eye for goals and he can produce magic out of nothing. So no-one's really surprised to see him in this form because he is a fantastic player and has amazing qualities.

"But who knows? Lucas (Moura) is a fantastic player as well, or whoever the manager decides to put in. It will change for different games, the team always does, and everyone has been working hard."

Spurs haven't won a trophy since their 2008 League Cup triumph, last lifted the FA Cup in 1991 and were last crowned top-flight league champions in 1961.

Alli is hoping the London club's name is on a trophy again this year.

"We want to win trophies, that's our aim and we've been playing well, we've been getting quite far in recent years without quite having the finishing product and not getting over the line," he said.

"But it's about time for us, as players, we need to start winning things."
