Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley - Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley - Premier League

Positions he can play: Centre back, Right back and Defensive Midfielder

Qualities: Heading, Physical strength and Tackling

Eric Dier has already shown how much he means to Tottenham in the past few seasons. He is a technically sound player. He has decent pace and an impressive free-kick taking ability.

So far, Dier has been seen playing very well for the club. In the match against Chelsea, he couldn't do anything to stop Alonso from scoring two goals but he was a decent performer for Spurs, playing in midfield.

Eric has evolved into an impressive defensive midfielder. He can stop attacks as well as build up the play for his team. He can also provide long balls for the forwards.

With Spurs in incredible form, Dier will be crucial to their exploits. The manager, Mauricio Pochettino, would rely on the 23-year-old English to control his midfield as well as to connect the attack and defence well.
