The report explained that there are question marks around the Dane’s stylistic fit to Ange Postecolgou’s system as there is a feeling that he is more at home in a counter-attacking system such as the ones employed by Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.
It was suggested that the 27-year-old, who has two years left on his contract at Tottenham, faces an uncertain future.
Spurs could cash in on Dier and Hojbjerg
90 min have now claimed that it is not just Hojbjerg who Tottenham are open to selling about also Dier.
It is asserted that despite both players being part of the leadership group, the club are willing to allow them to leave this summer as they reshape the squad according to Postecoglou’s needs.
The publication states that while Spurs did previously hold talks with Dier regarding a contract extension, those negotiations have now stalled as the club consider the centre-back’s future.
Spurs Web Opinion
I would not be disappointed if either Dier or Hojbjerg leaves this summer as it is clear that we can upgrade on the pair.
However, I would be surprised if Spurs sold both of them this transfer window.
Postecoglou could see value in their pair’s leadership qualities if he feels that they can adapt to his way of playing. That is, of course, a big ‘if’.
