Tottenham defender Eric Dier believes he is in the form of his career but is determined to improve further under Antonio Conte. Dier has been in impressive form for Spurs playing in the centre of a three-man defence but missed out on Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the forthcoming international break.
Eric Dier said: “I feel for me this is consistently my best season I have had so far at Tottenham overall. I don’t think I’ve ever shown the consistency in the performances that I have shown this season and I feel like my football is the best it has been in my opinion. It is always very nice when a manager, especially one like him, says those things. It gives me a lot of confidence, but the thing I pay most attention to from his words is that I have a lot of space for improvement and I think that is really the thing he says that I focus on the most. I want to fill that space, fill that potential, as much as possible, as much as he thinks possible.”
