      Asked about the England international, former Chelsea boss Tuchel gave nothing away.

      He then kept his cards close to his chest, adding: “Have you already asked the sporting director? There will be no comment from me.”

      Fans online, rightly or wrongly, claimed that Tuchel’s comments suggested that he wasn’t that keen on signing Dier.
      One wrote: “So Bayern Munich signed Dier without the manager’s consent.”

      While a second commented: “Clearly not his signing.”
      Another added: “In other words, Eric Dier is the idea of the sporting director not Tuchel’s.”

      Dier has been out of favour at Tottenham this season.
      He did not play a single minute under Ange Postecoglou’s until the 4-1 defeat to Chelsea on November 6.
      The experienced defender has made four appearances in total this term, with his contract set to expire in June.
      Spurs have had to do without Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero for long stretches this season.
      While Ben Davies pulled up with an apparent hamstring issue during Spurs’ 1-0 FA Cup win over Burnley on Friday night.
      After the match, Postecoglou was asked if his side can afford to lose Dier given Davies’ knock.
      The Aussie gave a considered pause before answering: “Yes.”
      Dier has played 364 times for Spurs since signing from Sporting Lisbon for £4million in 2014.
      He played regularly as the North Londoners contended for the Premier League title under Mauricio Pochettino, and featured in the 2019 Champions League final.
      The 49-cap star earned his place in Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad for Qatar, but has struggled for form since.

      Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou snaps ‘don’t question my integrity’ and brutally responds to Eric Dier transfer question

      by

      TOTTENHAM manager Ange Postecoglou was in no mood to be questioned about Eric Dier’s absence from the Spurs squad yesterday.The defender wasn’t named on the Spurs bench for their 1-0 FA Cup third round victory over Burnley amid rumours that he has agreed personal terms with Bayern Munich.
      Postecoglou did not respond kindly to being asked about Eric DierCredit: Reuters
      But Postecoglou insisted that Dier’s absence was because of injury and not due to a transfer and gave short shrift to any reporter that suggested otherwise.
      The Aussie was asked if Eric Dier was injured in a post-match press conference and replied: “Yeah he’s injured.”
      When asked about the nature of the injury he said: “He just pulled up sore in training yesterday.”
      Postecoglou was then asked if there was any truth in Dier’s link with joining Bayern Munich to which he replied: “Separate issue mate but don’t question my integrity. When I say he’s injured, he’s injured.

      “Didn’t train yesterday. Ask him. When I say he’s injured, he’s injured. Got nothing to do with anything else.”
      The reporter then dared to ask again whether there was any truth in the links with Bayern to which he said: “I got no idea. I’ve got no interest.
      “But when you ask me whether he’s injured… He’s injured, like I did not make that up. If he wasn’t injured I’d say he’s not selected, it’s easy for me to say.
      “Now in terms of anything else that’s happening? Not on my radar, not that I’ve heard of and if there is something I’m sure I’ll hear of it.”

      He simply replied: “Yes.”
      Spurs are still negotiating with Genoa over the signing of centre-back Radu Dragusin, who would replace Dier in the squad.

      Ange Postecoglou rules out £180k-a-week star ever playing for Tottenham again

      by

      Spurs feared at the time it would curtail his campaign despite the veteran vowing to return ahead of the Euros this summer.
      But his manager has now confirmed the wideman will not feature again this term, meaning he has played his last game for the club with his expensive contract expiring in the summer.
      Asked if he expected Perisic to play again this season, Postecoglou replied: “No. He’s working hard, to be fair to Ivan.
      “He’s obviously got some national team commitments he wants to get back to as soon as possible. He’s been a significant loss for us.

      “I thought this year he was going to be a really significant contributor because of his experience and we saw that in the first few games because of the way he impacted games.
      “But yeah, he won’t…he’s unlikely to play for us again.”
      Perisic was signed by Postecoglou’s predecessor Antonio Conte in the summer of 2022 on a two-year deal, believed to be worth £180,000 a week.
      He has made 50 appearances for the North Londoners, with his only goal for the club being the final one of Conte’s reign in March’s 3-3 draw at Southampton.

      Reports have linked Perisic with a move back to Croatia with Hajduk Split ready to pounce.
      The move is in place as Spurs built a good relationship with the Croatian giants after snatching dream-signing 16-year-old Luka Vuskovic.
      Perisic is a lifelong supporter of the side and played in the youth ranks for the club from 2000-2006.

      Spurs outcast Dier has started just one match in all competitions this season – a 2-1 defeat against Wolves in November.
      Despite centre-back Mickey van de Ven out injured with a hamstring issue, 29-year-old Dier has still struggled for game time.
      Postecoglou has chosen to rely on full-backs Emerson Royal and Ben Davies in a central role with the English defender still out of the picture.
      According to ESPN, Dier has been told he can find a new club this month as his Tottenham contract is set to expire this summer.

      And David Moyes’ Hammers are among the clubs monitoring the defender alongside his old side Sporting Lisbon.
      West Ham are keen to sign another defender as Angelo Ogbonna, who turns 36 in May, is edging the end of his career with his contract set to expire in the summer.
      Fabrizio Romano confirmed Spurs’ upcoming deal with 21-year-old Dragusin to happen this week, meaning the England international could be shown the exit door sooner than expected.

      Dier arrived at Spurs in 2014 on a £4million transfer after spending his youth and early senior career at Sporting.
      Since he arrived in North London he has made over 365 appearances for the club.
      If Dier has hopes of reaching Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad for Germany this summer he will need to pick up more playing time.
      The England star has 49 caps for the Three Lions featuring in the Euro 2016 squad and 2018 and 2022 World Cup team. More
