Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a new contract for Eric Dier, according to .
After a problematic 2018/19, during which he suffered from appendicitis and tonsillitis, as well as a hip injury which eventually required surgery, the 25-year-old had lost his place in the team under Mauricio Pochettino. However, following the Argentinian s departure and the appointment of Jose Mourinho is his place, he has become a prominent member again, and as a consequence, he is the next in line for a fresh deal following defender Toby Alderweireld signing his recently. The increase in wages for Dier is expected to be a significant one, over £75,000 per week more than he earns under his current contract, which expires in 2021.
Primarily a defensive midfielder, the England international is also capable of slotting into the back line, and that versatility makes him a valuable asset, especially given that Mourinho wants another defender.
The future of Jan Vertonghen is still very much open, while midfielder Christian Eriksen has made it quite clear he has no intention of staying at the club past next summer, when both their contracts are set to expire.
