Graham Roberts states future of Tottenham 23-year-old, claims he heard it from the horses mouth
By Derek Smithson
Graham Roberts has claimed that he expects Tottenham ace Eric Dier to remain with the club despite reported interest from Manchester United.
Sky Sports correspondent Jim White has claimed on his personal Twitter account that United have bid £40million for the England international.
The 23-year-old has been on the radar of Jose Mourinho’s side and they are believed to have submitted a mega bid.
However, Spurs legend Roberts has ensured fans that Dier will remain in north London after hearing it from the horses mouth.
“Just to let you know Dier is going nowhere and that is from the horses mouth, Mourinho not getting his way,” Roberts wrote on his personal Twitter account.
Dier is a versatile player that can play at either centre-back or as a defensive midfielder, something that he has split between in the last two seasons.
He was an ever-present in Mauricio Pocehttino’s starting line-up last season and made 48 appearances across all competitions.
The set-piece specialist is part of a strong English core in the squad, with the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Danny Rose also key members.
Spurs are yet to make any signings in the transfer window and have already lost defender Kyle Walker to Manchester City.
In other Tottenham transfer news, they are tracking a 47-time international winger.
