The Tottenham Hotspur ace is linked with a move to Manchester United.
Graham Roberts has claimed on Twitter that linked-away Eric Dier will not leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
The England international has been linked with a move to Manchester United at times throughout the transfer window.
However, The Manchester Evening News reported on Tuesday that Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho believes such a transfer is “difficult” due to Tottenham’s stance on their key men.
Sky Sports presenter Jim White claimed on Twitter recently that “sources close to the player” told him that Mourinho had bid £40 million for the Spurs midfielder.
However, Lilywhites legend Graham Roberts, who spent six years in North London, says that he has been told Dier is going nowhere this summer.
Dier is a good player but is he good enough for Tottenham’s best XI?
He doesn’t start ahead of Victor Wanyama in midfield and certainly wouldn’t dislodge Jan Vertonghen or Toby Alderweireld in central defence.
Of course, manager Mauricio Pochettino might well play 3-4-2-1 next season, allowing for three centre-halves, but even still Pochettino could recruit a better defender than Dier if that were the case.
