Forget Kane, midfield gem tops our five most improved Tottenham players this season

4. Eric Dier

Appearances: 40 – Goals: 0 – Assists: 2

As dependable a utility man you could ever find, Dier has gone from strength to strength as both a central midfielder and a centre back this season.

Again, much like Kane, it is the 24-year-old’s performances on the European stage which earns him a place on this list, playing a crucial role on the way to Tottenham’s unbeaten run in the group stage.

The fact he missed his very first league game against Bournemouth, after picking up a slight knock against Juventus days earlier, prove just how important he has been to the team, and his improved performances no matter where he has been utilised bode well for the future.

While Spurs will celebrate seeing the versatile enforcer improve week on week, so will England, as he establishes himself as a key member of the Three Lions’ squad.
