Dele Alli has invented a brand new viral challenge that is even tougher than his first one, which itself sparked global confusion when fans struggled to imitate it.

The Spurs midfielder last week baffled the world by showing off his hand salute that was seemingly impossible to recreate.

And he has just taken it to a new level by sharing a similar trick that is far more complex than the initial #DeleChallenge.

The 22-year-old’s latest creation sees him make two hoops from his fingers for his eye to look through, while in the first he made just one hoop.

In a video shared on his social media accounts, the Premier League footballer shows off the baffling trick.

His Tottenham teammate Georges-Kevin N’Koudou is shown alongside him, trying and failing to recreate it.

The madness comes after even Alli’s manager Mauricio Pochettino was asked to get involved.

Quizzed a match press conference about the trend, he wisely refused to demonstrate.

Alli’s original challenge started when he scored against Newcastle and celebrated the goal by making a circular shape using his thumb and index finger around his eye.

Soon the internet was overflowing with people trying to attempt the near-impossible challenge. And we can expect much of the same this time around.
