Former Tottenham Hotspur legend Ledley King has hailed current Spurs player Eric Dier for his versatility, and praised him for his importance to the North London club, reports the London Evening Standard.
King, who started 268 matches for Spurs between 1999 and 2012 before retiring due to injury, recalled his thoughts when he first watched him put on the Lilywhites' jersey in 2015.
"I remember watching him in pre-season in Denver, and he impressed me straight away. At the time, I didn’t know he could step into midfield and perform that well."
King, who is now an ambassador for the team, continued: “I quickly saw he was capable of that and he went on to have a great season in midfield.
