Eric Dier, a defender for Tottenham who has fallen down the pecking order under Ange Postecoglou, who signed Micky van de Ven in the summer, could be a great addition to Bayern Munich, according to former Spurs right-back and pundit Alan Hutton.
Dier and Romero have formed one of the best center-back partnerships in the league.
Dier failed to impress the Australian and did not play for Spurs until two weeks ago, when he was substituted for Brennan Johnson following Romero’s dismissal against Chelsea.
Spurs lost both of their subsequent games after he started the match against Wolves, which ended in a 2-1 loss. Jamie O’Hara attributed Dier’s two goals given up in that match.
According to recent reports, Levy would prefer to get rid of the 29-year-old in January to get paid rather than take the chance of losing him to a free transfer in the summer.
Furthermore, Dier may decide to stay with Bayern Munich despite the initial suggestion that he would prefer to stay until the end of the season and leave on a free agent to keep his options open.
Dier has been linked to a move to the German powerhouses and has been linked again in the last few weeks.
Hutton also thinks that Tuchel’s team would benefit from his presence because of Bayern’s possession-based style of play.
Regarding Bayern’s curiosity in the defender, Hutton responded as follows to Football Insider:
To be completely honest, I believe Tottenham will prefer to bring in a different player.
“Who do you have there who will enter with van de Ven and Romero present?
Many of the players have been there for a while, but things haven’t quite worked out. Considering the past few weeks, one would assume Dier’s nine-year tenure at Tottenham is coming to an end.
Would he be up for it? Presumably. There is a team you’re going to play against where you have a good chance of winning.
He can play out from the back, handle the ball well, and have a lot of possession, so he’ll definitely give it some thought. In the end, I believe it’s time for him to find something new. Ange Postecoglou will obviously want to sign his own players.
TBH Stated:
A January transfer would benefit both Spurs and the player, if the Bayern rumors are accurate.
Dier would not mind joining a team that would undoubtedly win a trophy this season and getting back together with his old friend Harry Kane, but Levy wants to cash in on him.
