The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has proven his incredible versatility for both club and country.
Spurs ace Eric Dier spoke to reporters during a news conference whilst away on international duty with England, and responded to a question asking him which position he feels most comfortable in playing, as quoted by the Evening Standard.
The 23-year-old has excelled when deployed in both the centre-back and deep-lying midfield roles for Tottenham, and his versatility has become a major asset for both his club and country over the past couple of years.
The former Sporting Lisbon man has well and truly established himself as one of Europe’s best players, but even he is unsure where his future lies from a positional aspect.
Dier spoke to reporters during a press conference ahead of England’s friendly match against Germany on Friday night, and highlighted how he is happy occupying both roles, as quoted by the Evening Standard:
“I do not know what the future holds for me or where I will end up settling, because I am sure there will come a time when I am playing more games in one than the other. But football changes very quickly so I do not know where that will be. I enjoy both. I have enjoyed playing at centre-back over the last couple of weeks. We have played some really difficult teams so playing at centre-back has given me different challenges and I have enjoyed that as well.”

Whilst the Tottenham man’s ability to play in two different positions is invaluable for Mauricio Pochettino and Gareth Southgate, there will surely come a time when he is deployed in one or the other on a regular basis, if he is to establish himself as one of the continent’s best players.
