Always like him for his attitude, his energy and his flair. Now though he is becoming, since the Leicester game at the end of last season, the player my mates (who are River Plate fans) raved about when he came to us from Roma. Kane, Lamela, Dele, Eriksen, Lucas and Son must be as good an attacking group of players as any out there

most agree, although the one thing i would say he can improve is his right foot. He is very left foot dominant.

He get's round it so well, it's not clearly obvious he is one sided.

But a switched on defender would show him to the right and limit (not stop entirely) his attacks.
Not saying he's on this level but Messi, Robben & others do just fine using predominantly their left and left only. If you're really good with it it doesn't matter.

Also seems to only get called out to left footed players. What does Dele do with his left foot?
