As already stated he doesn't want to be associated with his father.
It's what he wants to be called though; he's said publicly he doesn't feel any attachment to the name Alli because the Alli family gave him up when he was a kid. Personally I don't mind him being referred to as Dele if that's what he wants. No skin off my nose.
If he's that insistent about it, why not just change his name to his mams maiden name.

Liking a post on twitter 'my best is yet to come'.
Perhaps he has 'Rom'd' on us and thinks we aren't good enough and the cause of his England snubs.
