Answering questions in his latest Q&A, one fan turned the attention to Dier and a supposed meeting with Daniel Levy. However, Gold has clarified that meeting and insisted that as of now, Dier is keen to fight on at Spurs.
“From what I understand it was Eric Dier who was called in for a meeting with Daniel Levy. Presumably it was in an effort to move him on before the windows closed,” Gold said.
“Dier wants to fight for his place under Postecoglou but would have accepted a loan move had one arrived for him in order to get game time – reports suggesting a Burnley loan offer arrived were dismissed by the club at the time.”
Speaking further on Dier under Postecoglou, Gold has explained that the new Spurs boss just doesn’t see Dier as the ideal defender in his system.
“For Postecoglou, Dier just doesn’t really fit the archetype for one of his centre-backs as he just doesn’t have the pace to react to the balls over the top and down the flanks. The experienced defender will have to prove otherwise if he gets a chance,” Gold added.
