Tottenham defensive midfielder Eric Dier has revealed the most intense club derby fixture he has ever played in - and it is not the North London Derby against Arsenal.
Dier began his career with Portuguese giants Sporting, making 31 senior appearances before switching to Spurs in the summer of 2014 in a £4 million (€4.4m/$5.2m) deal.
The deal has proved to be a shrewd investment by Spurs, with Dier having made 240 appearances in all competitions for the club, becoming a key player under the management of both Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho.
