Dier signs new Spurs deal
Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier has agreed a new five-year deal on Tuesday, 24 hours before Spurs take on Monaco in their Group E opener at Wembley.
Having moved to White Hart Lane from Sporting CP two years ago, Dier has established himself as a first-team regular for both club and country, exemplifying Mauricio Pochettino’s faith in young English talent.
And the 22-year-old is keen to repay the faith shown in him by the Argentinian over the next few years.
“It’s been an unbelievable two years, the change has been amazing and I’m so happy to continue on this journey,” Dier said.
“I’m really looking forward to the future and that’s what makes it so easy to want to stay here – the fantastic manager we have, the great club, the fans, all the infrastructure we have, the new stadium being built – it’s all really exciting and I want to grow with the club at the same pace.
“It’s a pleasure to come here every day and I enjoy seeing everyone, it’s like playing football with your mates.
“There is a fantastic feeling around the club. Obviously, when you play that many games for a club and share good moments like we have over the last two years you create a very tight connection to the club.
“It’s fantastic for us young players to have a manager with his attitude and work rate. It’s something we all look up to.”
Spurs will play their home Champions League games at Wembley due to renovations at White Hart Lane ahead of a move to the new stadium next season.
