Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier apparently wants to fight for his 𒐪place👍 at the club despite not featuring this season.

The Tottenham centre-back has fallen out of favour at the club and💛 many may have thought that h🔥e could have departed over the summer.

Now, a journalist has provided an update on his future. Speaking via the , journalist Matt Barlow said: “I don’t think ꦦEric Dier wants to leave the club. He has one year remaining on his contract and showed no interest in a mov𓂃e during the summer.

“Postecoglou has made it clear he wants centre-halves who are mobile and quick on the recover… this is not Dier’s strength and yet I think he backs himself to make an impression at some point. With Joe Rodon and Jap�🌃�het Tanganga also out, he is not that far from the team.”

Eric Dier wants to fight for his place at Tottenham

The 29 year-old has been a Spurs player for🧜 many years and has had some great moments but last season he was not at his best.

This, combi🧜ned with the fact that new manager Ange Postecoglou doesn’t seem to fancy him would suggest that the best option for all parties is for him to leave♉.

The defender hasn’t even featured this season s🌜o it is defin♉itely going to take a lot for him to get anywhere near the pitch at the club.

With Spurs performing ✤so well at the moment as well without 🔯him it also doesn’t help his case in fighting to play.

If the player is going to want to force his way back into✤ the plans of Ange Postecoglou then he is going to have to do a lot in training.

With only one year left on his contracꦉt, it looks most likely that he will be leaving the club on a free transfer next summer.
