Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier has been linked with a move away from the North London club in recent months.
Eric Dier has struggled for regular game time, and he needs to move on in search of regular playing time. A report from Football Transfers has claimed that West Ham United have now initiated contact to sign the Tottenham utility man.
West Ham United Keen on Eric Dier
West Ham could certainly use defensive reinforcements, and the Tottenham defender could prove to be a quality acquisition. He is a proven performer in the Premier League and is versatile enough to operate in a number of roles at a high level.
The 29-year-old can play as a full-back, a central defender as well as a central defensive midfielder. West Ham will have to improve defensively to push for European qualification. The Hammers have been doing quite well in recent weeks, but they need quality players to sustain that run of form.
West Ham have been quite vulnerable defensively at times, and they will need to tighten up defensively. The opportunity to play regularly for West Ham could be an attractive option for the Tottenham utility man, and it remains to be seen whether he is open to the move.
The Englishman is in the final six months of his contract with Tottenham, and they could be keen on selling him for a nominal price this month. They will not want to lose the player as a free agent at the end of the season.
West Ham won the UEFA Europa Conference League last year, and they will look to win the UEFA Europa League this season. They are an ambitious club with a talented squad right now. Eric Dier could be attracted to the idea of playing for them. In addition, a move to West Ham would mean that he can continue living in London as well.
Signing a proven performer like him in the Premier League for a bargain would be a masterstroke from West Ham, and they must look to take advantage of his contract situation and get the deal done.
