Young Essex footballer Zan Bux receives message of praise from Dele Alli

A young award winning footballer from Essex is all smiles after receiving a message of praise from Dele Alli.

16-year old Zayn Bux who has in the past won the Sportsperson Of The Year award in Essex beating off Team GB athletes received a message via social media from Tottenham Spurs’ star Dele Alli last week.

Bux took to social networking site Instagram telling his thousands of followers: “Cant say enough great words about this world class footballer @dele” and he later thanked the star sharing “Thank you for the support and kind words”.

The message comes amidst rumours that various Under 18 squads are looking to sign the Essex footballer, a source told us “It is a very exciting start to the year for Zayn, at the moment he has Chelsea, Fulham and Colchester all looking to take him on and there are also some teams abroad who are interested”.
