Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy reportedly wanted to offload Eric Dier on the final day of the summer transfer window.

According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy was hoping to move on Eric Dier on summer transfer deadline day.

The report has claimed that Dier, who can operate as a defender or as a midfielder, was offered to Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.

However, no move happened, and the £85,000-a-week (Spotrac) defender is still at Tottenham.

Dier is out of contract at Spurs at the of next season.

No future for Eric Dier at Tottenham Hotspur

We do not think that Eric Dier has a long-term future at Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou clearly does not fancy Dier.

And he is out of contract at Spurs at the end of next season.

It is hard to see the 29-year-old get much playing time in the coming weeks and months.

We will not be surprised if Postecoglou does not even include Dier in his final Premier League squad.

Dier has made 270 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

The Englishman has scored 12 goals, given nine assists, and kept 86 clean sheets in those games.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham try to sell Dier again in January 2024.
