Dejan Kulusevski explains why some Spurs players are angry with Eric Dier
Brazil’s Richarlison, Uruguay’s Rodrigo Bentancur, Argentina’s Cristian Romero, and Uruguay’s Lucas Moura joined South Americans like Emerson Royal, Davinson Sanchez, and Royal this season. The South American presence at Spurs is expanding.
Currently on a roll and winless so far this year, the North London club is in great shape. Despite the team’s appearance of unity, there is a hidden rift among the members.
The disagreement between these specific players is not the kind of thing that can ruin a season, so let’s be clear before we start any scandalous rumors. It seems that Eric Dier’s taste in music isn’t extremely popular with the South American players.
Attacker Dejan Kulusevski from Sweden detailed the circumstance to Spurs Play.
Eric Dier is the DJ, he declared. We play a lot of rap, which makes the South Americans really upset since they only want to hear this other genre of music. But we just play rap.
Even if the South American boys might not like it, Kulusevski seems to like Dier’s musical preferences. It must be challenging to maintain everyone’s satisfaction with the Spurs team’s diverse cultural makeup.
We adore the notion that despite the South American guys’ repeated requests for Eric Dier to turn off his rap music, Dier simply increased the volume and continued playing the music. We’re fairly confident that Kulusevski is exaggerating the situation for dramatic effect and that nobody is truly upset with anyone.
Let’s hope some rap music doesn’t interfere with the positive vibes that the team seems to be experiencing right now.

Pundit says Spurs sold the best player in the world in his position for just £20m
Don Hutchinson thinks Kieran Trippier is the best right-back in the world right now.
After joining Spurs from Burnley in the summer of 2015, Trippier spent four seasons there and became a top right-back while he was there, earning a spot in the England team.
The defensive errors he made cost Mauricio Pochettino’s team multiple times during his final season at Spurs, though he had a substantial decline in performance.
After improving his defensive skills under Diego Simeone’s guidance, Trippier eventually joined Atletico Madrid for just £20 million (BBC), where he was a key contributor to the team’s title victory in 2020–21.
Did Tottenham sell Kieran Trippier far too early?
Since joining Newcastle United in January of last year, the former Tottenham player has emerged as one of the best right backs in the Premier League.
The Magpies star was included in Hutchinson’s current Team of the Season, and Hutchinson noted that he is the best player in the world at his position. Trippier, the best right-back in football worldwide, he told ESPN FC.
James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, and Micky van de Ven were three of the eleven players named by the commentator who also included Spurs players.
Tripper has undoubtedly improved greatly over the past few years, and in retrospect, Pochettino made a mistake by approving the England international’s departure back in 2019.
