Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Eric Dier has signed a new four-year contract with the club.

A statement on the club’s official website said, “We are delighted to announce that Eric Dier has signed a new contract with the Club which will run until 2024.”

“Eric has been with the Club for six years having joined from Sporting Lisbon in July, 2014, and enjoyed a memorable debut with a last-minute winning goal on the opening day of the 2014/15 season at West Ham United.

“The versatile defensive player switched from defence to a holding midfield role in his second season with us, establishing himself as an integral member of the team and earned his first caps for England.

“He has also gone on to earn a total of 40 caps for England, captaining the national team on several occasions and was also part of the squad that finished fourth at the 2018 FIFA World Cup where he memorably scored the decisive spot kick to give England a first-ever World Cup penalty shootout win in the last 16 against Colombia.”
