Danny Murphy tells Eric Dier to leave Tottenham

Since joining the team, Eric Dier has nearly always been a starter for Tottenham.

Since 2014, the ‘great’ Englishman has made 360 appearances for Spurs across all leagues, and there have been instances when his name was among the first to appear on the squad sheet.

But since Ange Postecoglou took over, Dier hasn’t played a single minute for the first team. The 29-year-old hasn’t played a single minute this season and on five occasions, he wasn’t even selected for the Premier League team.

At this time, it is crystal evident that Postecoglou does not like Dier, and Murphy has advised him to sever his relationship with Tottenham and look for a new club in January.

On talkSPORT on October 11 at 12:50 p.m., he said:

“He has got himself in a situation. Obviously, with a change in manger, sometimes you find yourself out of favour, and you’ve got to cut your ties. You’ve got to go!

“He is a talented lad. He can play at centre-half and in central midfield, and he will do someone a job because he’s a good player. He’s just not the most mobile.

“He has got versatility, he’s experienced. You can probably get him quite cheap as well (in January). There are a lot of clubs who will want him.”

Dier has to go

At the end of this current campaign, Eric Dier’s contract with Tottenham will expire.

Numerous clubs expressed interest in the Spurs defender during the summer, but no deal ultimately occurred. He allegedly planned to compete for his position under Postecoglou this season.

But it certainly seems like a waste of time, doesn’t it? At this point in his career, Dier has to be playing regularly, thus a transfer in January makes the most sense.

He is apparently someone Jose Mourinho wants to sign at Roma; that would be a brilliant move on his part.
