Tottenham Hotspur legend Ossie Ardiles has taken to Twitter to give his view on Eric Dier signing a new contract with the club.
Dier, 22, penned a new five-year contract on Tuesday, tying him to Spurs until 2021, whilst also marking a superb two years for Dier at White Hart Lane.

A summer signing from Sporting Lisbon in 2014, Dier cost a measly £4m (BBC Sport), and has proven himself to be one of Tottenham’s greatest bargains of recent times.
In his first season with the club, Dier proved his versatility by playing at both right back and centre back, but really hit his stride when Mauricio Pochettino took the decision to convert him to a defensive midfielder.

Since switching to protect the back four, Dier has been one of Tottenham’s most important players, and has also established himself as a first-choice player for England on the international stage.
Dier will be key for years to come for Tottenham, and it’s no surprise to see Spurs move to extend his deal even longer – and club hero Ossie Ardiles has taken to Twitter to give his view on the move.
