Germans no, Dier is not for sale

The rise of Eric Dier has been phenomenal. I campaigned his purchase for 3 years yet even though I clearly rated him his rise has still surprised. A versatile player he started as a centre-back but when needs must he played at right-back delivering some of the best crosses from that position we had seen in years.

His transference then to defensive midfield, where he had played for Sporting Lisbon, has seen him go from strength to strength. He has come from nowhere to be essential for England, it is almost as if he is getting more confident with every game he plays. He has shone at the Euros and that has alerted German giants Bayern Munich.

Matt Law at The Telegraph has revealed that Mauricio Pochettino has asked him to model his game on Sergio Busquets and regularly views video to see how the Spaniard handles different situations. Eric Dier is being built piece by piece, fitness, find the best position for his talents, learn the defensive side then add the attacking side. He seems to now be developing his passing range to the extent that he could perhaps play in the Mousa Dembele role with Victor Wanyama alongside him.

Bayern Munich are reported to have made enquiries and received a firm he is not for sale response, none of the players Pochettino wants are for sale. Other clubs interest in your players is a testament to your club doing well. Speculation will always happen, but as in the case of Christian Eriksen and harry Kane, it means nothing.
