This is Dele Alli, a soccer player for Tottenham Hotspur. He's also the man behind an infuriating new internet ~trend~.
At a recent game, Alli threw up this little gesture. It looks simple, right?
Just a fun little finger loop, no big deal.
👌 👁️ Okay, who's still trying this?
Well, NO. It is inexplicably difficult to figure out, and Alli is really enjoying watching people try to nail it.
I don’t know what they’re saying but this is funny to watch 😂 https://t.co/AwPWCST336
People have been trying out the #DeleAlliChallenge, and there have been more than a few eye injuries along the way.
Smh I been doin this #DeleAllichallenge the whole day 🤦🏾♂️ I got it now tho😏
Both Twitter and Instagram are full of people trying it out, sometimes successfully.
Some people make it look easy.
My mother thought I was going psycho but learnt the #DeleAllichallenge 😎😂
Others are still struggling.
My dads attempt #DeleAllichallenge
To be fair, it's weirdly hard.
And I don't really blame you if you give up.
#DeleAllichallenge at me??
Here's an entirely unhelpful tutorial.
This is the real secret of how to do it: Make a loop, then move the remaining three fingers down.
you’re welcome
The trick is to keep a circular loop even though your fingers are in a state of intense confusion.
So simple.
Productive Day off👌👌 #DeleAllichallenge

After like a million tries I finally did it!!!! 😂😂👌🏾 it’s not that hard tbh #DeleAllichallenge
