Tottenham's Dier: Centre-back is where I see my future

Eric Dier is hoping to reap the benefits of moving to a central defensive role at Tottenham, a position he claims is his strongest.

Dier made his first Premier League start at centre-half under Jose Mourinho in the 3-2 defeat by Wolves on Sunday and impressed his manager.

Though the England international has previously gained recognition for his exploits in a defensive midfield role for both club and country, Dier thinks his best performances come when he is in the backline.

“As I’ve said, centre-back is a position where I see my future, where I think I can be the best I can be, but every opportunity I get to play I’m really happy with and I always try to show my qualities," Dier told the club's official website.
