Tottenham outcast Dele Alli faces an anxious wait to see if he will be allowed to leave to join Paris Saint-Germain, with the final decision resting upon Daniel Levy.
The England international has failed to nail down regular opportunities since Jose Mourinho took the helm and is looking to leave the club before Monday's transfer deadline.
While Mourinho is said to have given his approval for the former MK Dons midfielder to held to the French capital, a final decision falls to the man above him.
According to the Mail, Daniel Levy has the final say in whether Alli will be allowed to leave and he has thus far been reluctant to approve a transfer.
Harry Kane's latest injury setback has issued Alli with another hurdle to overcome, raising concerns about Spurs ' injury problems - even though the striker's absence is unlikely to result in fresh opportunities for the latter.
While Mourinho's approval knocks one domino down, there are still plenty that need to fall for a transfer to be finalised before the deadline - and none are bigger than Levy's decision.
The Spurs chairman has become renowned for his tough approach regarding transfers and a loan that takes Alli to PSG does not provide much of a financial incentive to Spurs.
Alli is tied down to a contract at Spurs that will still have three years to run when the season draws to a close and a considerable price could be demanded for a sale.
With so many angles left to be resolved, any deal for Alli would likely extend deep into deadline day and, even then, it may be too late.
